Has anyone ever used the iconifyStack and unIconifyStack

[Thomas McGrath III]

Well, I tried this and a few variations and they work great for 
minimizing all open stacks when one is minimized.
Also, by modifying the script for uniconifystack then all stacks will 
open when just one is un-minimized.

My problem now is that I can not get the substacks to be on top 
regardless of which is selected for un-minimization.
I need my main stack to be behind all stacks when they are un-minimized 
even if the user selects the main stack to un-minimize.

So when minimized there are usually just two stacks in the dock and one 
is named "slides" which is a substack the other is the main stack 
called "Unity CD". Naturally, even though we left from the slides 
substack when we minimized the user tends to select the Unity CD Main 
stack to un-minimze from. I need the substack to be on top and not the 
Unity CD main stack.

   put lineOffset("UnityCD", tvar) into myUnityLine --tvar is the list 
of open stacks
   delete line myUnityLine of tvar
   put line 1 of tvar into mvar -- this should be any substack that is 
open(I don't even care which if more than one, as long as it is a 
substack and not the UnityCD main stack)
   go stack mvar

This is in my uniconify stack in my mainstack (which I know is being 
called because I recenter the stacks and that is happening)

help is greatly appreciated
