locked stack

A stack that can’t be changed.

A padlock appears after the last menu title in the menu bar of a locked stack.

A stack can be locked for any of a number of reasons:

• Can’t Modify Stack is selected in the

Protect Stack dialog box.

• Locked is selected in the stack’s Get Info

box in the Finder.

• The medium that holds the stack is

read only—a locked disk, a CD-ROM, or

a locked folder on a file server.

• The stack was written using an outdated

version of HyperCard.
