main stack and substack questions

[Jim Ault]

Another way I like better is to avoid globals and...

on mouseup
   set the lockRecent to false  --precaution in case true
   go to stack "sub2"
    put char 2 to -2 of word -1 of the long name of recent card into stkFrom
    put the short name of recent card into cdFrom
    put fld "newrecord_id" of cd cdFrom of stk stkFrom into fld "record_id"

    put the short id of recent card into cdIDFrom  --recommended
    -- in case of duplicate card names
    put fld "newrecord_id" of cd id cdIDFrom of stk stkFrom /
         into fld "record_id"
end  mouseup
