What do you get if you use "go" instead of "open"?

Okay I created a simple stack with one sub stack. In the card script of stack 1
I put the handler:
on openStack
put the defaultStack & cr into msg
open stack "untitled 2"
put the defaultStack & cr after msg
open me
put the defaultStack & cr after msg
end openStack
I get:
stack "Untitled 1"
stack "Untitled 2"
stack "Untitled 2”
It seems going,opening a stack sets the opened stack to the default… IF IT’s
NOT ALREADY OPENED! If it IS, well then you are on your own. The defaultStack
is the last stack opened. (I’m assuming it’s a normal stack and not a pallet or
something else).
Now you would think at this point you can use topStack instead, but NAY! This
script:
on openStack
put the defaultStack && the short name of the topStack & cr into msg
open stack "untitled 2"
put the defaultStack && the short name of the topStack & cr after msg
go me
put the defaultStack && the short name of the topStack & cr after msg
end openStack
produces:
stack "Untitled 1" Untitled 1
stack "Untitled 2" Untitled 2
stack "Untitled 2" Untitled 2
After I go me, neither the defaultStack nor the topStack changes! What is more,
the untitled 2 stack still has focus!!
Just to be certain I disabled all my plugins and relaunched, same thing.
This CANNOT BE RIGHT! And if it is the expected behavior, it ought not be.

Until I can figure out what is causing it, I cannot trust the defaultStack.
I think the basic lesson here is "if you're going to rely on the defaultstack you
should set the defaultstack".
