Stack Context/Scope Question

Hi,

I am slightly confused as to the use of "this" and "me" when used for 
a Stack, for instance, if I have two stacks:

GlobalStack, contains global functions in the Stack Script, as so:

function GetStackFileName
local myFileName

put the filename of this stack into myFileName
return myFileName
end GetStackFileName


function DoSomethingElse
local myFileName

put GetStackFileName() into myFileName

return myFileName
end DoSomethingElse


CallerStack, calls functions in GlobalStack, the stack script is as so:


function DoAnotherThing
local myFileNameA
local myFileNameB

put GetStackFileName() into myFileNameA
put DoSomethingElse () into myFileNameB

end DoAnotherThing

What should myFileNameA and myFileNameB be set to?

Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave
