Problem! Inaccessible substack

[Jerry Balzano]

First of all, thanks to Chipp, Alex, and Glen for their speedy replies. 
  Unfortunately, nothing worked!  Chipp, I tried the button script you 
gave me below; it runs but does nothing observable.  If I add a line 
asking to set the loc of the stack to the screenloc, *then* I get a 
"can't find stack" error.  Glen, the Application Browser doesn't even 
"see" this substack for some reason.

The plot thickens: a few days ago I downloaded Richard Gaskin's 4W 
Devolution suite.  It turns out that Richard's 4W Object Browser *does* 
see the substack.  It even sees that the substack "33" contains two 
cards, and gives me the card ids for them.  But if I try to select 
anything in the 4W Object Browser window pertaining to substack "33", I 
get "There was an error executing a script in stack 4WObjectBrowser."

Still open to any wild suggestions for things I might try to get at 
this infernal stack or any of its cards.
