Excuse me if this is in the manual, but I can't find it. I have two open stacks
(need I mention this is HC 2.0?). I am on stack A. I want to go to stack B (to
get something) and back to stack A without changing the current card of stack
B. Now if I could say
go to current card of stack B
I would be OK. Of course, saying
go to stack B
just goes to the first card of the stack. I would prefer not to have to modify
the stack to have it keep track of the current card. Any ideas?

Another way might be the use of push and pop card, but I think that could get messy. hope this helps :-) J.R. Hughson hughson@cis.ohio-state.edu jhughson@magnus.acs.ohio-state.ed

I dunno, using push & pop doesn't seem any messier: script in stack B: on suspendStack push card end suspendStack from stack A, "pop card" will take you back to stack B, leaving A open on the screen. To me, it seems a bit more elegant than declaring global variables that don't get used much. Just an opinion... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe Niski niski@reed.edu Mac Support Coordinator niski@reed.bitnet Reed College, Portland, OR 97202 503-777-7525

Push and pop is a better and easier way. To wit: push this card go to stack b do whatever pop card -- Henry Halff, Henry.Halff@f421.n109.z1.fidonet.org via The Black Cat's Shack's FidoNet<->Usenet Gateway blkcat.fidonet.org and Fidonet 1:109/401

You can say show window B where B is the short name of the stack if the longWIndowTitles property is false, or the full pathname if longWindowTitles is true.
