The value() function allows you to specify an object.  Read the fine 
print.

You might also consider whether a property is the right model.  If so, 
you might want to use a getProp handler and get a property of the main 
stack.

Also you can get values back from send (sans in-time).  Put a command 
handler in the main stack script and have it return a value.  In the 
caller script you can look at 'the result'.

In most cases the target changes, so watch for that.

If none of the above seems right, look at 'call'.
