You are saving the new mainstack, then opening *that* file, not the old 
file housing the mainstack you are moving, right?

Basically, each file represents a specific mainstack and its associated 
substacks.

If you have mainstack A in file A.rev and mainstack B in file B.rev, 
then make B a substack of A, save A into A.rev, and open B.rev, file 
B.rev was never changed during the previous process, so B.rev still 
opens with B as a mainstack...

Make sure you are opening your equivalent of A.rev, not B.rev, when you 
are doing this testing.
