Don't you need to go to the stack after setting the visibility?

go stack

Under the IDE, I do indeed see the stack, but in a standalone, I get the

What did I do wrong?


Is the stack open? A closed stack can have its visible property set to 
true but it doesn't appear until it's opened.

Visibility problem
