2 quick questions

[Peter Brigham MD]

A useful nugget -- if you need to get the current card of a stack that  
is not the frontmost stack, use the undocumented term  
"currentcard" (note lack of space character) -- as in:
put the currentcard of stack "myStack" into cc
which gets you something like:
card id 1002

"Currentcard" is equivalent to "this card" but works with any open  
stack, returning the id of the card that is currently showing in that  
stack. In your case this is unnecessary, as you are apparently needing  
to deal only with the one stack, so "this card" will do fine.
