Ban,
It sounds like what you want is to smoothly transition from one stack  
to another with no breaks, flashes, or jumps. The best way I have  
found to do this is to use the go stack in window form, like this:

     go stack <name of substack> in window <name of current stack>

This will simply replace the contents of the window with the new  
stack without having to visually close the old stack window and  
create and open a new window.
