but why use an external file when the stack is a file?
you have a native and super easy way to store info
in the cards, no need to mess around with and parse a file
let alone adapt to go cross platform... create a card for the
current stack, it remembers the stack's last use info, then
for windows' prefs, same thing... i'll try to make a working
stack or a procedure...
