More newbie problems

Hi Bob,

Sure, it's easy to make a mainstack a substack of another.

Go to your stack property inspector of the main stack you wish to make a 
substack of another. Make sure you're at the 'Basic Properties' section.

There's a option button named 'mainStack'. Just click on it and select 
the new mainstack you want for this stack and it's done for you.

See below for other answers.

best,
Chipp
