Okay it looks like the idle command is not getting passed to the back script
for some reason. I have this in a back script:
on idle
global theStack
breakpoint
try
close stack theStack
put empty into theStack
catch theError
end try
end idle
When script execution terminates, this handler does not get triggered, but if I
enter idle in the message window it executes.
Very odd.

I’m running 6.6.1. I do not have 2 copies open however. The stack is a substack
of my main stack. I use stacks as software modules, so to speak, in this
application. I hide my mainstack window when I open a substack module. When I
close the substack window, my on closeStack handler in the main stack handles
showing the mainstack window again.
Now I am trying to implement launching one substack from another, and I only
want one substack open at a time. So after opening the second substack, I want
the calling stack to close itself. I understand that as long as a script from
the calling stack is running, it cannot close, so I issued send in time, but
that didn’t work. Then I tried an idle handler and a global. I put the long ID
of the stack in the global, so that when the next idle message hits it *should*
close the stack, but it doesn’t, which means LC thinks there are resources
still in use.
I *did* have one of the scripts open in the script editor, so I will try with
the script editor closed. BTW I save the stack before exiting. Is saving the
stack a blocking call? In other words, does the script stop while saving the
stack, or does it go on from there? If so it may just be a timing issue.

Confounded. Since hardly anyone converts HC stacks any more, I thought it was
just something to do with that and I'd live with it. But maybe it's related to
your issue. You don't happen to have 2 copies of the stack open, do you? What
version of LC are you running?
