Yeah, we plan to change the name for the next release in January. The
author of each courseware title names its sections and he named this one
"Revelation as Apocalypse". It's currently in use by this semester's
students, but he's agreed to a different name for next semester.
The main thing I needed to know is whether there was an easier way to edit
the stack than what we were doing. It seems there isn't. The edit was minor
and was done via the message box. I think there's a bug in there somewhere
but it isn't worth pursuing right now. The bizarre warning message was also
particularly strange, and I'm curious where that came from.

The reason the stack name can't be changed is because the whole
multi-stack system uses the stack name for internal display in dozens of
places (glossaries, gradebooks, student notes, reading history, lookups,
etc.) and I'd have to add exceptions everywhere to accomodate just a
couple of problem names. We only want to do an occasional edit without
upsetting the whole IDE.
I appreciate that this will not solve 'the problem' but would solve
your 'current problem'; why not give the stack the correct name "The
Revelation" *. That way ALL your glossaries, student notes and other
references would show the correct title of the book. Please note there
is no 's' at the end, and by adopting the correct name you may go some
way in helping the students win trivia bets as to whether the last
book of the Bible is called "Revelations".
* At least in my copy of the King James Bible it's called "The
Revelation - of St John the Divine"; other versions of the Bible may
have colloquially translated that to Revelations.
