But when I put it into the "save" substack it says "saving save". I couldn't find a way for the "save" substack to say "saving notepad" and "saving save" looks dumb. So, yes, I know now which stack is being saved but how do I let the user know? One idea (not tested) is to put a blank label in the save stack and then try and put the Saving && stuff into the save stack label. I think i'll give that a try and let you know how it works.
So what you find confirms that 'this' refers to the active stack, which should be what the defaultstack function returns.
The answer command was meant only to figure out what is the meaning of 'this' at that point. You said that one stack is the substack on the other, so it does not matter which "this" is being saved since saving affects all stacks in a given stackfile.
I presumably misunderstood what you meant, but using answer to tell something to end-user (in context of saving) is not a good idea since answer interrupts the program.
If you want to enhance your program to tell user the name of its file (if your program can open multiple user files, for example), you can pass it as parameter, keep in a global/local (depending on your structure) or reverse engineer from the mainstack's name/title.
