In essence the action builds a layer stack by doing the following for 
each channel:
* Switch to Channels palette
* Click on the target channel, e.g., Red
* Select > all
* Edit > copy
* Click on the composite channel, e.g., RGB, to select it
* Switch to Layers palette
* Edit > paste (new layer)
* Assign a meaningful name to the new layer, e.g., "Green"

Check your e-mail.
