All I want to do is protect my code from view if someone tries to examine my stacks with Rev or with TextEdit. How can I do this? Obviously, this is not the application but a secondary stack (not sub-) whose data gets altered and saved during runtime. I can't ask the user to provide the password as I want to keep it a secret.
Set the passkey when the stack is opened. Then set the password before saving the data stack again.
I don't believe you need to set the password after setting the passkey. The passkey allows you access to the stack during the current editing session; to remove a password from a stack you'd need to set the password to empty. Thus, once you set the passkey of a stack, the stack can be edited as needed, saved, and closed. Once it is closed, it will be protected as before.
You are right Scott. Once it is set, it is set. This is unless you set it to empty and save it.

But is it possible to unlock the stack for the duration of a given script only? Assume a handler that needs to do sth that requires a stack to be unlocked. It sets the passkey and does its business. However, it seems that this unlocks the stack until it is closed, thus opening it potentially for mischief. Is the a way to lock the stack back before the handler ends? It would be logical if setting a password did that trick, but does it?
