Éric,
I made exactly what you suggested and yes, it works well ! I can open  
two versions of one same app. without getting the msg "a stack with the  
same name ...."
It remains that it is nearly impossible to distinguish them (except  
putting one to the left of the screen and the other to the right AND to  
keep this in (my) memory !

Right, the two versions of the script appear in the middle of the  
screen.
But what I would like to be able to (and I suppose it is the same for  
Graham) would be to keep visible simultaneously the two versions of   
the same script  in order to compare them, and for example, to modify  
one starting from the other (cut, copy and paste etc.).
It seems that the only way to do that, is again to put one script  
window on the left and the other on the right of the screen, and pay  
attention to keep this in (my) memory ! (a bit risky isn't it ?).
It seems that otherwise,it is necessary to change the name of one of  
the version of the same stack (and of all its substacks) :-(((
