That worked but I don't understand why.  I'd like to have that stack 
just lurking around or minimized so I can bring it up when I want to 
look at it.  Clicking back on my original stack seems to leave both 
there and operational.  I'm just curious what "go stack xxx" does that 
makes it pop up when I've already "start(ed) using stack xxx"

I haven't tried yet but I remember something on the list about editing 
substacks.  It could have been that someone had both a substack and a 
"real" stack by the same name in the same folder and they we'ren't 
seeing the changes in the substack because they were editing the "real" 
stack.  I'm sure this will probably work though.
