"lock screen" doesn't?

[Geoff Canyon]

This seems like a simple question, but my pea-brain isn't cooperating with
me today, so:

I'm using the following code to open a stack invisibly:

  set the lockscreen to true --locks the screen?
  if there is a file theStackFile then
    go stack theStackFile --shouldn't show, but does
    hide stack "prefs" --then hides here
  end if
  go stack "Main"

And it isn't working. When it executes, the second stack, indicated by
theStackFile above, flashes into existence visibly before hiding.

First, is there a better way to do this? I want to store the second stack
("theStackFile") separately, because it will be modified, and you can't
modify a standalone. Second, why isn't the lockScreen property actually
locking the screen through opening the second stack? Doesn't it do that?

Thanks
