Thanks Devin, but none of my substacks are library stacks. If I use library 
stacks they are always standalone stacks.

If you are trying to not just close the stack but also remove it from memory, I 
hit a similar problem with a series of converted HC stacks I'm working on. 
Several stacks are open at once and some simply will not delete. I thought it 
was due to the HC conversion but maybe it's a new bug. I'm doing this in LC 
6.6.1.

I've tried these things, none of which remove the stack from RAM:

In the message box: close this stack -- closes but doesn't delete
In the message box: delete this stack
Choose "Close and remove from memory" in the File menu
Right-click the stack in the app browser and choose "close and remove from 
memory"

Sometimes some of the set will remove themselves but one in particular never 
will. Sometimes if I issue "delete this stack" repeatedly in the message box (3 
or 4 times) it finally does go away. Sometimes I have to quit LC.

Not only that, but I'm getting odd responses from LC where it thinks there are 
two (or more) copies in RAM. I only opened one. But if I choose "go to 
definition" in the script editor, it asks me which stack it should find the 
definition in and offers two identical script paths. Sometimes I'll edit a 
script and apply, and the editor tells me I've changed the script elsewhere and 
which copy do I want to save?

Confounded. Since hardly anyone converts HC stacks any more, I thought it was 
just something to do with that and I'd live with it. But maybe it's related to 
your issue. You don't happen to have 2 copies of the stack open, do you? What 
version of LC are you running?

Jacque and Bob,

I've noticed that sometimes if I'm using library stacks the stack can't be 
removed from memory. Could that be the case here?
