Eureka! It's late, I'm tired and grouchy and I can't figure out a way to do this!

[Jerry Daniels]

Does the "parsing the long name" method that still work when a  
substack is involved? I think you need a test for substack and then  
the range of words might be different.

I set the defaultStack and actually ask the object for its owner. And  
then set defaultStack back to what it was.

Best,

Jerry Daniels
