By tinkering, I answered my own question - you don't use the keyword 
"grp" (or "group"). This seems like weird syntax to me. What if I 
have a group  and a graphic with the same name - how does RunRev pick 
the group? Again, what if the group is in another stack and several 
stacks have groups with the same name?

I am all for completely consistent ways of naming objects throughout 
the language. BTW the TD kind of tells you this by saying you have to 
use the group name, but it doesn't make it clear that this is 
unqualified nor does it answer my questions above.
