Every stack has one or more cards; mainstacks, substacks, all of them. 
Type this into the message box:

  go card 1

Whatever card appears, that is card one of the current stack. Card 1 is 
also the card you first see when the stack opens, as the engine 
automatically displays that card by default. If you have not set a label 
for your stack and it has more than one card, you will see the card 
number in the title bar as well.

Cards are numbered in the order you have created them. A new stack 
automatically has one card. If you create another card, that will be 
card 2. If you use the arrow keys to page through your stack, it will 
show the cards in order. You can change the order of the cards if 
necessary (though it isn't often done; usually only needed if you decide 
you want to add a title card at the front later on.) To change card order:

   set the number of this card to <number>
i.e.: set the number of this card to 1

Ask if you need more info.
