IsAstack ( )

[David Bovill]

Yes it does - which is why the script deletes the stack from memory if it
was not already loaded before hand. I use this script routinely when looping
through indexes of stacks which may have been moved or deleted by hand, and
wrote it to avoid the problem of loading everything into memory - I am sure
there are better ways.
