One idea (not tested) is to put a blank label in the save stack and then try and put the Saving stuff into the save stack label. I think i'll give that a try and let you know how it works. So what you find confirms that 'this' refers to the active stack, which should be what the defaultstack function returns. The answer command was meant only to figure out what is the meaning of 'this' at that point. You said that one stack is the substack on the other, so it does not matter which this is being saved since saving affects all stacks in a given stackfile. I presumably misunderstood what you meant, but using answer to tell something to end-user (in context of saving) is not a good idea since answer interrupts the program. If you want to enhance your program to tell user the name of its file (if your program can open multiple user files, for example), you can pass it as parameter, keep in a global/local (depending on your structure) or reverse engineer from the mainstack's name/title.

So save this stack saves the parent or primary stack and all substacks.

what's this stack
Hi, I recently wrote this code which works fine on savenotes modeless stack save save this stack wait 360 millisecs close stack save end savenotes when i went back to document it I stumbled across a sort of confusion in my understand on savenotes modeless stack save -- opens a new stack save as a modeless window save this stack -- saves this stack. Which stack is this (save or notepad)? wait 360 millisecs close stack save end savenotes I suddenly realized that I was using the save this stack command with 2 stacks open, the primary stack called notepad and a secondary stack called save. It appears that rev knows which is which even thought from the code it is quite confusing. Would it be better to say save stack notepad instead?

Re: what's this stack
Is one stack a substack of the other? If so, both are saved together. --Original Message-- From: Mark Smith Sender: use-revolution-boun...@lists.runrev.com To: use-revolution@lists.runrev.com ReplyTo: How to use Revolution Subject: what's this stack Sent: Nov 14, 2010 8:35 PM Hi, I recently wrote this code which works fine on savenotes modeless stack save save this stack wait 360 millisecs close stack save end savenotes when i went back to document it I stumbled across a sort of confusion in my understand on savenotes modeless stack save -- opens a new stack save as a modeless window save this stack -- saves this stack.
