Will get the contents of the field in the specified card whatever can  
be the current card in stack "Waterbabies".
You'll use this form to get something in a card that is not currently  
displayed.

> get fld "Seaweed" of stack "Waterbabies"

Will get the contents of the field in the the current card of stack  
"Waterbabies".
This will depend on the currently displayed card.

In your case, as there is only one card, both formulations will  
always work :-)
Hope this clarifies things,
