Richard and Alex, do we have a preference for which license to release the
code under? Peter was asking, on the dropbox thread, that we specify it.

Good idea. Not only is Github strongly encouraging more explicit

add a preopenstack handler to the stack you're going to modal and set its
location there.
You should be able to use the loc of your manstack to set its position.

Yes, I was by no means suggesting doing this in xml.
Just a hint as to meaning in case the json format was inscrutable.
I think xml is only slightly more readable than csv.
I¹m running into problems exporting a large multidimensional array to JSON

Maybe I'm just stating
Hi Dar - yeah, I wondered about that but the problem elements contain text
or a mix of text and numbers so they really should be ok to start with.
The weird thing is that I have two apps, which are essentially versions of
the same project. Both use similar data files as input and both use
