Referencing a prop of the curent card in another stack

[Jerry Daniels]

Mark has hit the nail on the head. The "currentCard" property (of a  
stack) will yield the card currently showing in a stack, even if it is  
not the defaultstack, even if it is invisible. In order to use  
"current" or "this card" you will have to set (and often reset) the  
defaultStack. "currentCard" eliminates the defaultStack two-step.

BONUS: When you set the currentCard of a stack (instead of using "go  
to cd n"), the stack will NOT show if it is invisible, but the current  
card will change. Very handy! We use this call in GLX2 and VAB (oops,  
did I say that out loud!). "currentCard" has been around for a while-- 
part of the later 2.7 versions of Rev, I believe. It's not all that new.

Best,
