Have Extend_STK create a larger stack in the body of the function, without
making any
other calls.  Then just assign the variables their proper values( e.g.
Stackptr).  I didn't
have Extend_STK use the copy constructor or the assignment operator in its
body,  and
it worked fine.  I believe the copy constructor should just be used mainly
to instantiate
a second stack from main (Stack<..,..,..>  S1; Stack<..,..,..>  S2(S1); as
an example).
Feel free to email back if you have other questions
