if i understand you right, you want to show a stack on top
of all other stacks and that stack is already open, but lies somewhere
behind the other stacks.

In that case just script:

    ........
    toplevel "name_of_your_stack_here"
end xxx

You can just call that stack with its style again, and it will
come to front.

palette or modeless or whatsoever...

Hope that helps...

Au revoir
