I think  I have found the (a)  solution...

It seems that when you jump around between stacks, there is some interaction
between the _stack_level_ scripts.  The solution is to do a 
"set lockMessages to true" just before you do something like
'go to stack "SomeOtherStack"' and then set lockMessages back to false when
you're done.  lockMessages (according to Goodman's HC Developer's Guide)
disables all messages (except idle) until turned off.  

Its primary use (and the one I am using it for) is to let you jump somewhere
else (another stack), snarf some data, and then get back without having
another stacks scripts start running, which might do all sorts of 
unintended things...
