Looks like the show and hide commands allow you to name a stack, but there's no way to specify that the stack should be modal, which is what I need. I thought about trying "go invisible stackname as modal" followed by the show command but I think the script would stop execution at the go command so the show would never happen until after I return from the modal stack.
