I know that I'm not a young player and this tip has probably been floating around for years but here's what happened to me and how I got around the trap.
As a standard (self-imposed) I always set up a preopenstack handler in my main stack. Now, I know for some of you that will be an AHA moment, but it works for me. So, I'm building this stack you see, and I;ve stuck in all the standard handlers that I want, including my faithful preopenstack. Then I built a substack that I wanted to hold data I've collected, while I or the application edits it and distributes the data to its proper location. Seems simple enough even to an old duffer like me. The only problem I ran into was every time I go to the substack I end up in the mainstack preopenstack handler. Blah. How do I work around this misdirection? Simple in the scheme of things. I built a dummy preopenstack in the substack and went no further. Not too elegant I admit and I'll bow my head to anyone on the list that comes up with a better answer. All I can say is it works. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
