Oh! I didn't understand that it could be this easy. I will try this and,
as you cautioned earlier, make sure that the input image sizes are all
the same.  Pity I can't get to this until next week.  Nuts.

P.S.  I still have a muddled view of the interrelationships among
ImageStack, ImagePlus and ImageProcessor. I don't have enough experience
  reading UMLs so I can't decipher the UML for ImageJ. But that's
another day.
