Garbage Collection/Old Data in stack

[Peter Haworth]

Just tried the following script in a button in your Test3 stack file:

on mouseUp

   get the revUnplacedGroupIDs of stack "GolfDay FL"
   repeat for each line rID in it
      delete group id rID of stack "GolfDay FL"
   end repeat

end mouseUp

The saved the stack.  It's now 9kbytes in size.
