Actually, you can share groups from a mainstack to any of its substacks.

How? I've been wanting to do that for years, so we could get something close to Gain Momentum's "View" objects but haven't been able to do it. Back in the day I asked Dr. Raney, and he told me it couldn't be done but that he might consider it for the future.

Has that future arrived?

I just tried it again in v4.6.4 and v5.5.1, with a mainstack "a" and a substack "b", in which "a" has a group named "x" and ran this in the Message Box with "b" topmost:

   place grp "x" of cd 1 of stack "a" into this cd

It threw this error:

   Message execution error:
   Error description: place: group is not in this stack or is
   already on this card

What's the secret?
