I have no idea what to do with a substack: can I declare the mainstack as 
card 1 and use the substack for the other pages
with different size and how do you stick them together?  Is there something 
to read about it online?

I think I explained it not clear enough: Sometimes while working there is 
such a mass, that I want to reopen to go back to the last save.
So I do an exit with "don't save".
But when I reopen I see the same mass....

Right; but after "Delete last line of field "xxx" " the line disappearesd, 
but not the space between text and place of the deleted line;
because after a new "put return & textline after field "xxx", the new line 
is positioned under the position of the disappeared line .
that's why I wrote I want the cursor back behind the org. text.

I mean I want all textlines left, no automatic block identation.
 From there I want to do block indentations manually:
In TB we use for that <Ctrl>+<tab> for indent right of a selected block
or <Ctrl>+<Shft>+<tab> for indent left. No such way in RunRev?
