if "xyz" is among the lines of the openstacks then
## is open...
else
## not open...
end if
...

I think you will also have to check if the stack is open, since closed
stacks are probably invisible all the time ;-)

...
if "xyz" is among the lines of the openstacks AND the visible of  
stack "xyz" then
## open AND visisble
else
## closed and so "non importante" :-)
end if

I am stressed, since we will be moving end of next week* and now we  
are painting
the old flat, painting the new flat, put zillion things into zillion  
boxes and hope it
won't rain :-)

*in the same city fortunately...
