Rich, if you want to come back where you left, use push and pop.
However, what you want to achieve can be done without explicitely
going anywhere but using
put fld "abc" of cd "xyz" of stack "otherstackname" into ...
if you need to loop through all cards then use sth like that
repeat with i=1 to the number of cards of stack "otherstackname"
put fld "abc" of cd i of stack "otherstackname" into ...
end repeat
You get the idea I hope.
