I can't add much to Richard's excellent explanations, except to
confirm that for me as an ex-HyperCarder the indirect relationship
between the name of the stack in the file system and the name
property of the stack was confusing for a long while. Once I trained
myself to refer to the entity represented in the file system as a
"stackfile" and understand it was something different that the
entities it contains -- main stacks and substacks -- the whole rev
world became a lot clearer to me. In HyperCard there was a one-to-one
relationship between the name of the stack and its name in the
Finder: you changed one, you changed both. It was simpler, but I've
found that Rev's way of handling it gives me freedom HyperCard did not.
