create field suddenly not a good chunk

[Scott Rossi]

Did you include "stack" in the variable name?  Pretty sure you just need
the stack's name, so maybe that was causing a failure.

As a quick and dirty test, I tried creating 3 new stacks, and executed
variations of this line from  the message box: set defaultStack to
"untitled 3";create fld

When running this here, switching the number after "untitled" causes a
field to be created in the designated stack as expected.  Maybe some other
part of your script is forcing a change of the defaultStack.
