Copying an image from a stack

[Graham]

I was trying out Sannyasin Sivakatirswami's charming stack "Yamas and 
Niyamas" (interesting content, but that's another story...). Just for 
experimental purposes, I wanted to have a look at the animated GIF of a 
dove which has already been mentioned on this list (I wasn't planning to 
steal it!). I tried to select it and examine it with an editor. At random I 
chose probably an unsuitable editor, MS PictureIt!, which happened to be on 
the PC I'm using. Now comes the odd bit:

1. RunRev asked me to identify the path to the editor, which I did and it 
then said it was opening it, but it didn't do so as far as I could see (no 
menus, nothing in the bar at the bottom of the screen, etc). I may have hit 
'Update' but AFAIKS there was nothing doing the updating.

2. I am sure that I never saved a copy of the stack, but after this 
attempt, the dove changed from an animated gif to a single inanimate frame! 
Quitting RunRev and starting again didn't restore the bird to life - what 
was all that about?

Anyway my real question is, if I can see an image in a stack while under 
development, how can I export it to another program? I would have guessed 
that selecting the object, copying, switching apps and pasting would do it 
(provided the object was understood by the second app), but it doesn't seem 
to work. I guess I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what.

OT PS: I am not enjoying learning ImageReady to create my own animated 
GIFs. The Help system appears to have been written by someone living in a 
different universe from the one I'm in... ah well.
