newStack

Handler:

on newStack
   statements
end newStack

HyperCard sends the newStack message to the current card (in this case, the first card of the new stack) just after HyperCard creates the stack.

Although the new stack will not have a script with which to respond to the message, any other object along the message-passing path can handle it.

Placeholders
