Is there any message sent in LC when the cursor moves into the titlebar of a stack? It occurs to me that this would be a good trigger for checking the modifiedMark to indicate the need for saving. The workaround would be a frontscript mouseleave handler that checks to see if the final mouseloc is x,0, but if there is a dedicated message that would be simpler.
