<description>Use the <b>create stack</b> command to make a new <object tag="stack">stack</object>.<p></p><p><b>Parameters:</b></p><p>The <i>stackName</i> is the name of the newly-created <object tag="stack">stack</object>. If you don't specify a <i>stackName</i>, the new <glossary tag="stack">stack's</glossary> name is the value of the <function tag="seconds">seconds function</function> at the time of creation.</p><p></p><p>The <i>background</i> is a reference to any <command tag="group">group</command> in the <property tag="defaultStack">defaultStack</property>. This <command tag="group">group</command>, if specified, is included in the new <object tag="stack">stack</object>.</p><p></p><p><b>Comments:</b></p><p>The newly created stack is not saved to a file until you explicitly save it. If you close it without saving it, the stack disappears.</p><p></p><p>If you use the create invisible stack form, the stack is created with its <b>visible</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> set to false, so it cannot be seen. Use this form to create a hidden window, change its appearance or position, then make it visible.</p><p></p><p>The stack created when create stack is executed is a clone of the templateStack.</p></description>
