OK. Are you starting clean? I'm in a situation where there is a 
mainstack open, along with two substacks. If I have the mainstack 
open and I type

set the defaultStack to "foo" (not the name, but...)

into the message box and then immediately type

put the defaultStack

I get the name of the mainstack.
