I am sure there is a better way, but one way would be to get the
openStacks() before, then open the new stack, then get the
openStacks() after, and do a quick compare. The new one is the just
loaded stack.

Anybody know a reliable way to get the stack name of a stack that
has been turned into a standalone, from within another stack that
the standalone has launched? It's easy to get the name of the
standalone stack when that's the active stack, just by getting 'the
short name of this stack'. But once that stack launches another
stack, how do you do it reliably? Here are the tools I know about:
the address - the name of the system the app is running on followed
by the path to the app. But the app name isn't necessarily the same
as the short name.
the stacks - returns a list of the filenames of stack files with
currently open stacks
the openStacks - returns a list of the short names of all open
stacks (The name I want is in there, but where? Would it always be
the first in the list? Last in the list?)
revLoadedStacks(application) - returns a list of the short names of
all non-rev stacks loaded into memory (But ditto the above. Where is
the name of the standalone stack?)
the mainstacks - a list of main stacks loaded into memory. (Same
problem.)
If I knew for sure that the name of the standalone stack ALWAYS came
first in these lists, I could get what I need.
What I really need is 'the short name of the standaloneStack'.
Anybody know?
