More newbie problems

Hi,

Having a blast with RunRev... in two ways at least: lots of fun, and  
shooting myself in the foot

So I made a main stack and got it working quite nicely. I've grown  
attached to it even.

Now I am coming to realise that this was something of a mistake. I  
should have made a dummy stack as the main stack and done my work in  
a substack. Next time for sure.

So I read in the documentation "Changing a stack's mainStack property  
moves it into the same file as the specified main stack. The stack  
becomes a substack of the specified mainStack."

Unless I'm doing something wrong -- and this is a distinct  
possibility -- then this isn't precisely correct. This doesn't do  
much when the stack you are trying to change the mainStack property  
of is itself a main stack. In fact it doesn't seem to do anything.

So, barring some error in what I'm trying to do, is there some other  
way to do this? I can't quite find answers in the documentation.

Can you demote a main stack?

Can you copy a main stack to a substack?

Can you move a card from one stack to another?

Can you duplicate stacks?

Can you duplicate cards?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Cheers,
Bob
