True. The original request was for a way to identify the stack that held 
the long ID of an object in the stack, so that's what my script did. But 
you're right, it wouldn't work with file paths.

For long IDs that are stack file paths, you can use:

   get (the short name of pStackLongID is in the openstacks)
