the long id of stack xyz

is a file reference actually!

-> stack "/Users/klaus/Desktop/test.rev"

> Is this normal behavior?

Yep :-)

Closed mainstack:
put there is a btn "bbb" of cd 1 of stack "/Users/klaus/Desktop/fnn.rev"

-> true


Or in a substack of the closed mainstack:
put there is a btn "bbbsub1" of cd 1of stack "sub1" of stack "/Users/ 
klaus/Desktop/fnn.rev"

-> true
