What do you mean by anchor? Why do you need to open the stack at all if it's always invisible to the user?
It's the stack with all the startup logic and it's the root of all the common handlers for the rest of the app, plus it contains private debugging info (I have a kind of tracer/timer routine that shows the progress of certain events in a field I can look at during development). Since it's the mainstack, it opens automatically when the app starts. I may have designed my app in a stupid way from the RunRev point of view, but I got some of these ideas from SuperCard and they've stuck...
BTW, I suggested in my previous post that to solve my problem I could position the stack off screen. Turns out that the IDE doesn't give you this choice for a mainstack - the size data is there in the Stack Inspector, but the position data is not shown. Maybe the thing has to appear at the screenLoc. This is not documented AFAIK.
