The only requirement is that it come after DLG is LOADed -- because frame
"stack.int" is (or should be situated) inside DLG The others don't need to be
loaded yet. (Very misleading statement of mine above -- probably people were
having trouble at the time [1995] trying to execute things before they logged
in, I dunno. I'll change it.)

Incidentally, the copy of DLG at xywrite.com already has all the Stack code
inside of it, and is ready-to-go:

Doesn't matter.

I think it is easier (but obviously preferences differ) to use Enter for Stack
and Grey-Enter (Numpad-Enter) for regular . What "stability problems" are
you referring to?
