Charles

"me" is used when an object queries it's own properties or objects.

for example if i clicked in a field, the field script could ask:
on mouseup
  get the hilitedline of me
  if line 3 of me is empty then print me


same for a card or a stack or any object

get the long name of me


"THIS" is almost the same...

get the long name of this card... 

Compared to "ME", this can be used anywhere... 
Where as ME is restricted  to the object querying for a property of 
itself.

Get the number of cards in this stack
or
get the number of fields in this card

cheers
