When you are working on a server, you can only see what gets put into 
the browser. There is no stack to examine visually. Anywhere a script 
uses "put" without a destination, the text will go to the browser window 
where you can see it. Anything that is put into the stack itself won't 
be visible.

Each time the server runs a script, it starts from scratch. Nothing is 
saved from previous runs (unless you script it.) So you can't run the 
script on the server and then look at the stack later -- it won't have 
been saved.

Another option if you do want to see a real stack inside a browser is 
the (as yet immature) HTML5 feature. That does put a stack into a 
browser window, with buttons, fields, and all the basic object behaviors 
you are used to. It is still young yet though and has some limitations.
