although somewhat off-topic, this might be a good time to add that
Dar Scott's 'Message Mechanics Primer' example stack will help one
wrap one's head around the oft-confusing world of messages:
http://www.swcp.com/dsc/revstacks.html
A Primer on Message Mechanics. This module (stack file) is a primer
on using send, cancel, pendingMessages and callbacks. Those are the
basic Revolution components needed to get your stacks to do several
things at the same time. The primer starts from the basics and builds
on those, providing examples and details along the way. It is 88 tiny
pages long and if that is not long enough for you, note that it is
set up so you can add your own pages. It is fun and... It is Free!

Hello Mark!
If my first wife had not asked me to get the "big snip" as an
anniversary present many years ago, I'd name my next male child
after you for that little tidbit. I may still consider re-naming my
first born male child after you, although at 22, he may have some
thoughts on the matter.
You have saved me DAYS of frustration in tracking down why my
preOpenStack is getting executed AGAIN when I quit the app! Is that
little item documented anywhere? Now that I see it in writing and
knowing (a little) about how the message path works, it makes
perfect sense. I guess I always figured that when I opened another
stack, the message was sent to it. It never occurred that if there
was no preOpenStack message, that it would get passed back to the
caller! Perhaps that is obvious to everyone but me.
Thanks again!!!
