opening stack "revStandaloneSettings" in a script [was:error in test contion

[Mark Schonewille]

Richard,

This is the correct syntax:

send "revStandaloneSettings" && quote & the short name of \
    the topStack & quote to stack "revStandaloneSettings"

You could replace the short name of the topStack with the short name of 
the mainstack of your project.
