Hi Dave,
  A quick check on my end showed this does work in OSX.  What platform 
are you on?  Anyway, maybe a work around for you would be to send the 
message to something that doesn't get deleted (ie, don't bite your own 
tail :-)).  So you could try
send "delete card XX" to this stack in 500 milliseconds

good luck,
