Thanks for the reply Jacque. I ran the message watcher while clicking the red
dot. None of the messages that appear have anything to do with closing the
stack.
Here’s what I came up with. The closeStackRequest is NOT getting sent to the
current card as the dictionary indicates, although the target IS the current
card. It DOES get sent to the stack though. So I put this in the stack script
and it DOES work with the red dot.
on closeStackRequest
if the short name of the target is "Main” then — I have substacks but no
other cards called Main
dispatch resetMainForm to the target
end if
save this stack
pass closeStackRequest
END closeStackRequest

There used to be a gREV* global variable that tracked the dirty status and if
the stack was dirty it put up the "do you want to save?" dialog. I can't find
it now so something has changed. When it existed, you could toggle that
variable via script and the IDE wouldn't bother you.
The IDE does pass the closeStackRequest to your stack after it checks the stack
status. The docs are correct that you don't get that message when a script
closes the stack but you can use closeStack instead; however, first we need to
find out where that variable went to. It used to be in the globals pane of the
message watcher, and I'd recognize it if I saw it, but I can't remember now
what it was.
