Simple Scoping Question

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Dave,

In any script of stack A, if you call a function placed in the script 
of stack B, *this* will refer to stack A since your script has been 
initiated in stack A.
Function or handler places do not matter.
The only important point is: from where do I began :-)
