I wonder if it is possible to merge two stacks into 1?

The current main stack is effectively a series of individual calculators covering such things as Photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, boilers etc.
In themselves, they are self contained, but behind the scene they are interconected where the results affect the outcome of a final detailed specification.
I wish to develop a new section for immediate marketing using Revmedia, but without the main program. Later it will be integrated into the main stack.
Any ideas?

You could make the new stack a substack of you (old) existing (main) stack.
Or did I misunderstand your question?

No, this was not what I meant, but perhaps it is the only way.
I am not clear about the point of sub-stacks and the transfer of data between variables from different stacks. For instance, are global variable in one stack useable in the substack in the normal way i.e. as though they are all in one stack?

Yes, global variables are available to ALL open stacks during one "session"!
In fact they are "stack independant".

Yes, I have just checked this out.
I can see that there is no way to merge stacks into one, because the IS's may clash.
For me, substacks are not an option.
Thankyou so much for your help.

You could copy all cards from one stack to another!
Kind of "merge for the poor"
