Is there a way I can detect when my main stack receives the

detect when a substack is triggering the openStack message and
skip over the init code. I've tried using the target and the me
function, nothing seems to work. Too bad there is no
openMainStack handler. (even using on startUp doesn't help me)
Ugh...what am i missing? thanx!
If you put your mainStack's initialization into the card script of
your mainStack you never need to worry about substacks triggering it.
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! :)
Don't forget the good ol' startup message handler, which executes
when you first launch, although that only works when you compile the
stack as a standalone. It's not terribly helpful when you're working
in the development environment.
