the defaultStack changes on resume

[Bob Sneidar]

Here is an updated version that should work with any stack name:

function getParentStack pObjectID
    put offset("stack ", pObjectID) into tStartChar
    put char tStartChar to -1 of pObjectID into tParentStack -- the long name of the parent stack
    return tParentStack
end getParentStack
