Bill,

It should be easy enough to do using a process something like this:

- set the defaultFolder to the folder containing the stacks.
- check the files function to get a list of the files in the defaultFolder
- go invisible stack <name>
- copy cd 1 of stack <name> to your stack
- close source stack
