Problem with more than one open stack

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Dave,

A quick fix is to set the defaultstack before using "this".  
Naturally, you can also change "this stack" into the name of your stack.

I don't know whether your script currently allows it, but the  
"correct" way of doing this would be to go back to the original stack  
after opening the progress window:

go stack "Progress Window"
go stack "Original Stack"

and if this causes a problem, try

go stack "Progress Window"
set the defaultstack to "Original Stack"

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
