OK. Whenever you touch a stack to get version info it will be loaded  
into memory.

Stop using it won't do anything in regards to whether or not it is in  
memory but deleting a main stack will always remove it from memory. If  
you try to reference the stack using the full filename (i.e. trying to  
access version info) after you delete it, however, the stack will be  
loaded back into memory.

Deleting a substack will just delete the substack but not to anything  
to the mainstack.

If you update the stack file on disk that the main stack resides in,  
'revert' will reload the mainstack (and substacks) from disk.

Let me know if this helps at all.
