How does a command find out who called it?

[Bob Sneidar]

It may be that dispatch works the same as send concerning the context, and the dictionary simply doesn't say so. I presumed that because the distinction was present for send and absent for dispatch that there was a real difference. I might be mistaken. Call explicitly says that the context remains the same, that is that the defaultStack does not change.

All object references in the message are evaluated in the current context i. e. the defaultStack. Therefore references within the message that refer to "this card" or "this stack" will be referring to the card or stack where the target handler is located.
