By "destroyStack" don't we always mean "purge stack"?
The delete stack command, when used on a main stack, purges the stack
from memory. However, when used on a substack, it deletes that substack
from the stack file. The next time the stack file is saved, bye-bye
substack.
It is... (deep breath)... perhaps not the most well-thought-out feature
of the language. There is a bugzilla request
<http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=1081> to split
the two functions of the delete stack command.
Good job -- got my vote. Thanks.
(This is separate from the destroyStack property, which does always
indicate whether the stack should be purged. Ironic that the more
alarming name is attached to the less dangerous feature...)
Maybe we should change the syntax "go next card" to "erase hard drive"
for consistency in irrelevant ominousness ;)
