Paul this is working out very well. Actually, both of these ideas work
equally well. Thanks!

Paul - excellent idea and thanks for this suggestion. There's just
one pitfall in my situation. I'm doing this:
put url serverStackPath into stackData
open file localStackPath for binary write
write stackData to file localStackPath
close file localStackPath
I've now created the 'virgin' stack but the rect it should be is
stored as a property in it. So the problem is the next line:
put the LastRect of stack localStackPath into stacksLastRect
will effectively open the stack, thus assigning the templateStack's
rectangle to it before I get a chance to change the rect of the
templateStack.
What do you think?
As an aside, you could probably shorten the above to:
put url serverStackPath into url ("binfile:"&localStackPath) -- copy
stack from server to local storage
then I would do a variant of what Phil suggested, namely open the local
stack invisible, fetch the custom property "LastRect", set the stack's
rect to be what you want it to be, then save the stack. Or follow Phil's
suggested and open from the server invisibly, set the size, and save.
