Feature request: clone as substack

2000-09-19 Thread David Bovill
If you are doing anything fancy with cloning multiple windows it would be really nice to be able to have the new cloned stack behave as a sub-stack, and be able to use the main stacks scripts without a lot of fiddling (ie send) or using the stack (which can interfere with the global environment.

Title: MC Version Testing Hi I don't know if this will be of any help to anyone, but I find it helps me when running stacks upgraded to use features from new versions of MetaCard. In order to avoid problems whilst running a stack I always include a call to a handler to check that the current

Hi Serge, Thanks to Kevin, I managed to put an auto-save feature for all of MC. Fortunately my stacks remain small but with all the changes I do, and the stability I got is not 100%, I need to have these saved often. So I stuck a few saving routines where needed including some exception
