I don't consider using chunk expressions to be a "hack" in this case.

I love chunking it was just MY chunking that was a hack (as in a nasty hacking cough).

This piece of chunking is cool (as in Daddy-O) and just what I needed, too.
put word 1 to 2 of (char offset(" stack" && quote,x) to -1 of x)

Well, it will always reference the mainstack of the control; by definition, substacks aren't separate files, so the *file* name will always be correct. Yes?

The issue with using "owner" is that technically you would have to recurse through an indeterminate number of owner levels, for groups nested within groups.

If you need the name of the substack, then you probably can't get away with a one-liner

put the long name of control n into x
put word 1 to 2 of (char offset(" stack" && quote,x) to -1 of x)

It really depends on what you specifically need and the usage, but in any event, I don't consider using chunk expressions to be a "hack" in this case.

Not, because that might give you the wrong stack file.
