CantModify is false and stack mode is 2. I tried repeatedly to set it to 
1 and wouldn't take. It's decided it's a 2 and there is no changing its 
mind.

Neither stack has any stackfiles, all stacks are downloaded from the 
server on demand using a lookup file auto-generated on the server every 
hour. User history lists and glossary lookups are created using the name 
of the stack, the card, and some extra data held in script locals.

During development stacks are loaded from disk using their filenames, 
calculated according to a naming system that incorporates the stack 
name. Although the filenames are similar to the stack names, they are 
not identical. Regardless, "TSMain" in any form is not the same as 
"Revelation as Apocalypse."
