Very close - look at "defaultStack" and "topStack" in the Dictionary. 
Basically "defaultStack" is the stack that is what you are talking 
about when you use "this" (like "the short name of this card"), and 
"topStack" is the frontmost stack with the lowest "mode" (usually 
meaning the frontmost topLevel window).
