What is worse, after THIS script runs: on openStack put the defaultStack && the short name of the topStack & cr into msg go stack "untitled 2" put the defaultStack && the short name of the topStack & cr after msg go the owner of me set the defaultStack to the owner of me put the defaultStack && the short name of the topStack & cr after msg end openStack
I get: stack "Untitled 1" Untitled 1 stack "Untitled 2" Untitled 2 stack "Untitled 1" Untitled 2 Here, the defaultStack is set by script to stack “Untitled 1” as you would expect, but upon termination of the script, the command "put the defaultStack” reveals that stack “Untitled 2” has reverted to the defaultStack! In other words, going to another stack, or card of a stack by script DOES NOT ALTER the defaultStack, and neither does setting it by script once the script terminates. Additionally it does not make it the topStack. If a user CLICKS in an open stack THEN it becomes the defaultStack AND the topStack. It just does not work by script. The only reliable way to change either by script is by setting the style of a stack to “topLevel”.
