Mark, It appears that when you programmatically create a script only
stack and save it. The engine auto inserts the first line: script
"stackname". I see that when I look at the file with a text editor.
When I edit the script of the stack in livecode the script "stackname"
line is missing.
Will there be any problems if there are two script "stackname"
statements in the text file. This could occur if the user adds it when
in the livecode editor.
What is the recommended method for determining if a stack is a "script
only" stack?
Thanks
Mike

The purpose of a script only stack is to be text on disk... Password protection
requires binary output, so in that case you might as well just use a normal
stack.

Not sure if this is a problem or not but it appears that any password I set
on the stack isn't retained. If I remove the stack from memory and re-open
it, the password isn't retained. I guess just something to be aware of
rather than a problem.

Ah yes - that is indeed the case - it is quite picky, for two reasons.
The first was that the main use-case I had in mind when implementing it
was to replace IDE stacks which were only scripts and thus they would be
edited in the IDE.
The second is that the *only* part of the file which the engine retains
when it is loaded is the 'name' on the first line and everything on the
second line onwards. If text before the 'script' line were allowed then it
is not clear how you might access that when the stack is loaded into memory
- it would essentially be invisible information in the internal stack
structure that would only appear when the stack is saved again.
Mark.
