Opening a substack

Post by exheusden » Fri Apr 30, 2010 12:33 pm

Which command is used to open a substack and how is the substack referenced in that command?

(By substack, I mean Rev's specific substack type, created with the File->New Substack Of…(name of main stack) menu command.)

And must anything special be specified when using objects of a substack (perhaps, fld fldName of substack ssName of mainstackName)?

Hi exhuesden...

If you wanted to put something into say a field in the substack before you have opened it or if it is not on top....
put "ABCDE" into fld 1 of stack "<whatever you call it >"

To open a sub stack....
open stack "<whatever you call it >"

hope this helps, be well

Dixie
