STACK command

Syntax: | `STACK filename STACK OFF STACK ON`
Qualifiers: | `\APPEND`
Defaults: | `\-APPEND`

After the `STACK` command is entered, all subsequently entered commands, and most of the actions performed on gui forms, will be written to the stack file. This stack file can later be executed with the `@filename` command. Thus, the `STACK` command is a way of interactively creating a script command file. To turn off the stacking feature, use the `STACK OFF` command. To turn stacking back on, using the same stack file, enter the `STACK ON` command, and subsequent commands will be appended to the previously opened stack file.

Use the `\APPEND` qualifier to append subsequent commands to the specified file.

By default, if no extension is supplied on the filename, the value of the characteristic `STACKEXTENSION` will be appended to the file name. The default value of `STACKEXTENSION` is `stk`.
