Perfect. You just saved me a lot of time. 

Once you helped me see that the mainstack is a property, I just changed it
with the inspector (since this was a one time operation). I guess I could
have used the message box and the command you wrote. 

Thanks Klaus.

simply 3 times:

...
set the mainstack of stack "old main stack name here" to "name of new 
mainstack here"
...

should do the job...

Hope that helps...
