Hi Albert,

This sounds like a good challenge to me. It would help me to make I sure
how I would access such a plugin. I want to pass the plugin (e.g.
"OpenMyListAsStack") a string, or a concatenation of strings, that lists
the files to open.  I don't want  to present the caller with any
dialogs. Is this where I would call...

IJ.runPlugin("OpenMyListAsStack", stringList)

from my other plugin?


Thanks again,
Ben
