Where is stack "foo"? What is your stack structure? Are all three of  
these stacks in the same stack file or are they separate?
If they are separate, then you need to tell it where to find the  
stack file containing "foo", either by setting the defaultFolder or  
by providing the complete path to "foo".

HyperCard maintained a list of locations where you had stored stacks  
and searched all of them in turn so it was hardly ever necessary to  
locate a stack. Rev doesn't do this, you have to tell it where to  
find things or tell it which folder to search.
