OK. I hope so.

Maybe it has to do with something that happened. I made a stack with a
substack, then tried to change the name. In the file folder it had the new
name, but it kept showing up in the Rev File menu with the old name. I
closed it and removed it, but it kept coming back with the old name. When I
opened it, the title bar bore the old name as well, and I couldn't change it
because the stack object was grayed out in the menu. Nothing I did would
make the stack editable in any way I could think of.

Finally, I just trashed it. To my amazement, when I opened the File menu to
Recent, it showed the stack I just trashed, and I still couldn't edit it. I
think I trashed it, too. None of this makes any sense to me at all. I'm
still not sure what its state is, although it doesn't show up in the File
menu anymore.
