Active window and mouse location

[Phil Davis]

Hi Douglas,

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding the problem or if someone already 
suggested this, but won't the stack come to the front if you just say 
"go to stack tMyStack" ?  Seems to me that would make it the topStack, 
which is apparently what you want (as I read it).

Or if the stack is a mainStack, you could say "launch document 
tMyStackFilepath" and the same thing would happen.

Another simple two-line approach:

    push current card of stack tTheOneBehind
    pop card

The push/pop approach should work in any LC version. (I'm working in LC 9)

Thanks -
Phil Davis

I will, however, keep this in mind for other purposes.
