It's a bit complicated. In general, the topStack is the active window.
(This can be a main stack or a substack; it doesn't matter one way or the
other.)

But the cantModify of the stack, and its style, can modify this. If the
frontmost stack is a normal editable stack (a toplevel stack whose
cantModify is false), then it's the topStack. But if it's a palette, modal
or modeless dialog, or if its cantModify is false, then the topmost
topLevel modifiable stack is the topStack.
