Thanks for the speedy replies, folks! Not sure if anyone's interested, but
here's what I learned...
1. Setting the screen rect vs. setting the individual height, width, and
loc in the openStack handler brought back the problem (didn't work.) I had
to continue to set them individually.
2. Tried setting the rect in the preOpenStack and that didn't work.
3. What DID work (very well) was setting the visible to false in
preOpenStack, and setting the visible to true in openStack AFTER I set the
height, width, and loc. Not the perfect solution, but at least it looks
great!
I have always had an aversion to using the visible property unless I
absolutely had to, because it is technically possible using a runtime
solution to end up with one invisible stack open, and it is also possible to
to set up a scenario where the user cannot close that invisible stack. That
would be... bad.
But my app now opens the way it should and I am a happy camper. I write the
owner's manual today and the alpha version of this program will be tested
with live users tomorrow. Thanks again to the list for the fast help.
