How to distinguish between multiple clones of a stack?

[Thomas J McGrath III]

Doug,

 From what I understand, this is not a good thing to do. FWIW you can 
clone a stack and then change the name and then set it to the mainStack 
"Whatever" and for that matter change it's size location and add 
scripts to it all via scripts.

In fact my experience shows that this is preferred over the single line 
message box method. I experienced very weird behavior so switched to 
putting a script in my main stack temporarily to build clones and 
change them in one step.

The big thing to watch out for is in the naming of the clones!! Do not 
use just numbers!! It will crash the stack and mess things up. I used a 
series of numbers to build substacks like "13i" , "13ii" etc based upon 
certain things and then one clone was "17" with on i in it and wham 
there came the crash and a substack that could not be deleted and 
caused the stack to not work. Luckily this list helped me and I had a 
back up.
