By tinkering, I answered my own question - you don't use the keyword
"grp" (or "group"). This seems like weird syntax to me. What if I
have a group and a graphic with the same name - how does RunRev pick
the group? Again, what if the group is in another stack and several
stacks have groups with the same name?
I am all for completely consistent ways of naming objects throughout
the language. BTW the TD kind of tells you this by saying you have to
use the group name, but it doesn't make it clear that this is
unqualified nor does it answer my questions above.
