Re: Make substack a mainstack?

Thanks for submitting that Peter. However... I just tested your recipe, and found that it does actually seem to work in that case. I just created a main stack, then a substack, and could successfully change the mainstack property of the substack to itself, i.e. to move it out into a stack on
