No, because ask/answer file uses the system dialog which only reads 
files on disk. Substacks aren't separate files, they are part of the 
same mainstack file that is already open.

You'd need to create your own dialog or palette that lists the 
substacks. Or alternately, detach the substacks and save them to disk as 
separate files.
