Well, a new cloned stack doesn't have a file name on disk yet so 
probably it really doesn't know who it is. But most things you can do in 
a script don't require a stack to have a file name, so usually that 
doesn't matter. Not always though.

I think we need more information. Do you mean you are trying to open a 
stack as a drawer before the main stack is drawn yet? I'd be surprised 
if that could be done, but I never thought to try it.  Which stack opens 
a drawer, and where does the command originate? Which stack has the 
preOpenStack handler in it?

I don't think I understand this either. What is the new document you're 
making (a text file? A stack?) What file is created? You should be able 
to import images or text into a stack that hasn't been saved to disk yet.

Can you describe the series of actions you want in more detail?

We'll try to find you some Thorazine if all else fails. ;)
