I am, generally, a single stack person.

The OP asked about running a stack on an iPad: so, presumably a standalone,
and, presumably, a single stack.

Certainly I do NOT have a 'centering' script in the stackScript of my Devawriter Pro because
I do not want all the ancilliary palettes opening slap-bnag in the middle of someone's work.

Probably not a good assumption. It's rare my mobile apps are single stack. Even just using a menu stack means there are multiples.

Thanks: I will take that piece of advice in the way I hope it is meant. 8)

I think most built apps that need to store modifiable data in a stack will have at least 2 stacks - a splash stack which is built as the app and which brings up the mainstack, and the mainstack as a file that can be modified and save modifications - because most modern OS's frown upon apps that modify themselves.
