I am not sure what you need exactly, so here are some general hints
using the Application Browser/Inspector...

To make a substack a mainstack on its own:

Select the substack in the AB...
In the inspector for this stack go to "Basic properties" and select the 
name of that
namely substack in the popup button "Main Stack"...
Et voila, it is removed from its former mainstack and is its own 
mainstack now :-)

I have not yet found a way to clone a substack without using the 
messagebox or
my nice "2lz2" palette ;-)

You mean a COPY? So the mainstack still has that substack?

Then use "the clone stack xyz" command...
This will make a copy AND that will become a mainstack by itself...

Use the messagebox:

lock messages; clone stadck xyz of stack zxy
##in case it is a substack

Hope this helps...

Drop a line if not ;-)
