Stacks and substacks of a filename

[Matt Denton]

Dear Ken and Richard

Thank you both for your kind help, I'm not sure what weird planet I was 
on last night, I did try a similar construct but got an error.   Many 
thanks for your kind help on something that is so simple and trivial -- 
I knew it would be!

As you can see from my question "mainstack and substacks of 
"/mydisk/revdocs/thisStack.rev"?" in the late night haze I was 
neglecting to put stack before the path of the stack... a small but 
essential keyword wouldn't you say?  How dumb of me.  Thanks again, it 
is a beautiful morning and the haze has lifted...
