The best I could do was:

end stackIsOpen
which on a 1.5mhz G4 powerbook took 150 ms for 1000 iterations.
(checking the windowID took 500 ms).
The trouble with 'value(word wordoffset("stack",pLongID)+1 of
pLongID)' is that given the long id of a stack, it returns the full
path of the stack, so is never in the openStacks.
True. The original request was for a way to identify the stack that held
the long ID of an object in the stack, so that's what my script did. But
you're right, it wouldn't work with file paths.
For long IDs that are stack file paths, you can use:
get (the short name of pStackLongID is in the openstacks)
Oh, and re-reading this, I think your method is better regarding "among
the lines of" -- it prevents one of those forward-looking potential bugs
we've been talking about on the list recently. So I revise myself:
get (the short name of pStackLongID is among the lines of the openstacks)
