   This really isn't a big problem, but rather an annoyance. I have a stack
that upon opening shows the first card for a few second (title screen).
After that it goes to the next card which contains in it's script:

on openCard
   select char 1 of cd fld 1
end openCard

This places the cursor in the card field so I don't have to click there.
However there is a slight problem. When I open my stack from the home stack,
everything works just fine. But when I open my stack from the finder, every
thing behaves noramlly until the very last few seconds. At the last moment,
there is a disk access and my cursor disappears. This disk access never
occurs when I open my stack from the home stack. Anyone got any ides why
this happens?
