When does a Stack Actually Die in the IDE???

[Marielle Lange]

What about these other options?

function ObjStack2 pObj
   put the long id of pObj into tObj
   return char 2 to -2 of word -1 of tObj
end ObjStack2

5.65% faster  than ObjStack according to 4W RevBench (50,000  
repetitions)

Or

function ObjStack3 pObj
   put the long id of pObj into tObj
   replace " of stack " with tab in tObj
   set the itemdel to tab
   return char 2 to -2 of item -1 of tObj
end ObjStack3

1.81% faster than ObjStack according to 4W RevBench  (50,000  
repetitions)
