The best I could do was:
function stackIsOpen pLongID
set the itemDelimiter to "/"
return (char 1 to -6 of item -1 of pLongID) is among the lines of
the openStacks
end stackIsOpen
which on a 1.5mhz G4 powerbook took 150 ms for 1000 iterations.
(checking the windowID took 500 ms).
The trouble with 'value(word wordoffset("stack",pLongID)+1 of
pLongID)' is that given the long id of a stack, it returns the full
path of the stack, so is never in the openStacks.
Best,
Mark

Sounds like an opportunity for the gang here to come up with a

Didn't time it. One-liner though. :)
Well done: 0.027ms (1GHz G4)
I'd considered the value function, but sometimes I get skittish
about it for fear of object names that may evaluate to valid
expressions.
But apparently since the name is in quotes it doesn't matter -- I
even named my stack "time()" and it still only returned the first-
level evaluation (removing the quotes to obtain the string "time()").
Good job, Jacque.
