If you put your mainStack's initialization into the card script of

That sure is mighty clever...I might even have to do that. I'm surprised
that there is no "official" and "correct" way to deal with this, but
perhaps as more folks see this thread, a non-workaround might arise.
Thank you so much for the input! :)
In my office, that's the official way.
If you really want to filter in the mainStack script you can use
something like:
on preOpenStack
if the short name of this stack = the short name of me then
-- do initialization
end if
end preOpenStack
That's the thing with Transcript: there are often many ways to solve a
given problem. Which one is "best" may often depend on the specifics of
the task at hand.
Using the message path smartly in lieu of conditionals is not
necessarily a workaround. Sometimes it lends itself to cleaner, simpler
code.
There may be other items of interest with regard to the message path here:
