me vs. this?

[Charles Hartman]

Well, I don't know. Now that it's pointed out to me, I see in the Doc  
under 'this' only mentions of 'this card' and 'this stack' . . . It  
seems a little counterintuitive, though, doesn't it? to have an  
apparent "plain English" command with what feels like an arbitrary  
limitation on its reference? Why shouldn't "this X" refer to  
whichever X is the "current" one of its kind (group, button,  
script . . .)?
