revert command

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Sims,

You can't revert a substack, or actually if you revert a substack, its  
mainstack is reverted too. From the docs:

"The revert command also undoes changes made to other stacks stored in  
the same stack file. That is, if you revert a main stack, all  
substacks of that stack also revert to the last save, and if you  
revert a substack, its main stack and any other substacks also revert."

You could make the substack a stackfile, rather than a substak, of the  
current mainstack. That would allow you to revert it.
