It matters enough to be documented. Thinking as someone who would be coming from a strong SuperCard background such as yourself, I found the answer following this path:1. Select "Revolution Documentation" from the Help menu. 2. Click "For New Developers" 3. Click "Experienced HyperCard or SuperCard developer" 4. Click "About Revolution for SuperCard Developers" - it's in the section titled "stacks, projects, and windows": "Like a project, the mainstack is in the message path of all objects in the substacks."
[...]
OK, I know I can't expect miracles and the documentation is pretty good by most standards, so I stand corrected. I certainly don't want to insult Jeanne. In fact I am willing to work hard on this, but I have not printed out all the documentation. When I started using SuperCard 3 (I think it was) I read the manuals from cover to cover, twice. Enough info stuck in my brain to prevent me feeling lost ever again. Maybe I should repeat the experience with Revolution: as an on-line user, I often find that the Transcript Dictionary (my main source of info) doesn't completely cover a topic, but then it may be unreasonable to expect this. On another list I recently pointed out for example that the usages of 'in' and 'seconds' in the Transcript statementI can honestly suggest that a good cover-to-cover skim through the docs of a new environment will pay for itself many times over.

weren't covered in the Dictionary; similarly the entry for preOpenStack seems to me to be somewhat incomplete. Instead of grumbling, I should have read more around the topic...
