# Description

Use the openStacks function to determine which stacks are open.

The list includes stacks that are part of the LiveCode development environment (such as the message box and menu bar).

The list also includes open stacks that cannot be seen because their visible property is set to false.

The order of the list is determined by the order of the windows on the screen. The frontmost window is first.
