ResizeStack help, please

[Jon]

Eric:

Thanks for the help.

First off, I'm not smart enough to "name my own messages", so that's 
right out <grin>!

I fiddled and I fiddled and after a while it just started working.  I 
have no idea what I did to make it work.  I was using a beta version of 
Constellation at one point, and then switched back to the Rev editors, 
but it is all a huge blur at this point.

The good news: it works now.  The bad news: I have no idea what went wrong.

Oh, well.  Sigh.  Life goes on.

:)
