Yes, thanks, I first learned about StackGraphics in Wickham-Jones.  
However, when I try to reproduce their example:

1)   Fills works on FilledPlots made individually

2)  Fills *doesn't* work on lists of plots made using Map or Table.

3)  Although StackGraphics makes the stacked plot, it first gives an 
error message

    StackGraphics::"bdpts": "Error in non-convex triangulation." 

4)  The examples in W-J all use the syntax "ListFilledPlot" instead of 
"FilledListPlot",which I believe is the correct form . . . ??

For what I want to do I'd just as soon use ListPlot3D instead, if I 
could just turn off the mesh lines in one direction and keep only the 
mesh lines that are in the stack plots.  (And, ListPlot3D seems to run 
significantly faster.)
