How to create hundreds of stacks with the same name in a loop?

[Phil Davis]

Hi Tiemo,

In addition to what Mark said, you can do this, which works:

create stack "foo"
set the destroyStack of stack "foo" to true
save stack "foo" as tMyFileName
delete stack "foo"

The "delete" command removes "foo" from Rev's memory, but does not 
delete the saved file. But be careful - if "foo" were a substack, the 
"delete" command would in fact delete it from its stackfile! But since 
"foo" is a mainstack, you're OK. So use "delete" with caution.

Hope this helps -
Phil Davis
