Hi Bill,

sorry, I cannot reproduce the problem.

entire stack:
   run("Duplicate...", "title=NewStack duplicate");
single slice:
   run("Duplicate...", "title=NoStack");

As usual, for checkboxes, the first word of each option is
recorded if the checkbox is active (and converted to lowercase).
So, "Duplicate Entire Stack" simply becomes "duplicate".

If you have a space in the name of the output stack, male sure
you enclose it in brackets:
   run("Duplicate...", "title=[My Second Stack] duplicate");

Michael
