One thing to add is that that "this" always refers to the stack that is the
defaultStack, and when you open other stacks, *they* become the
defaultStack, so if you do this:

on mouseUp
  set the defaultStack to "Test"
  put the short name of this stack  -- puts "Test"
  set the defaultStack to "Another Test"
  put the short name of this stack  -- puts "Another Test"
  open stack "Third Test"
  put the short name of this stack  -- puts "Third Test"
end mouseUp
