James,
This is the script I use. It is in case there are substacks open as 
well as my main stack. So I want ALL stacks to iconify and also when 
opening i want the topmost stack on iconify to be in front on 
uniconify.

on iconifyStack
   put the openstacks into tvar
   put the short name of this stack into myname
   repeat for each line i in tvar
     if i <> myname then
       set the iconic of stack i to true
     end if
   end repeat
   set the backdrop to none
end iconifyStack

on unIconifyStack
   put the openstacks into tvar
   put the short name of this stack into myname
   repeat for each line i in tvar
     if i <> myname then
       set the iconic of stack i to false
       set the loc of stack i to the screenloc
     end if
   end repeat
   set the loc of stack myname to the screenloc
end unIconifyStack

hope that helps

Tom
