Right, the built-in "version" function returns the engine version. You 
can store your stack version in a custom property of your own and read 
that when you want to display it.

For example, in About boxes I do this:

  put the cVersion of stack (the mainstack of this stack) into fld "version"

I never have to update the About box, because that line runs in a 
preOpenCard script and keeps it current. I update the cVersion of the 
mainstack once during development, and change the standalone builder 
setting at the same time.
