If you have only one stack, then I'm stumped. This works (without
recursion problems):
on suspendStack
if the vis of this stack then hide this stack
end suspendStack
But this doesn't--the stack never receives the resumeStack message, since
it's invisible and doesn't receive the focus:
on resumeStack
if not the vis of this stack then show this stack
end resumeStack
If you just want to hide some palettes when in the background while
another main stack stays visible, then the above resumeStack script could
be adapted to work. Otherwise, we have to cast about for solutions.
