On my 4.6.3 installation at Dreamhost: *open, create* stack works for me - "*go*" probably makes no sense to the server engine. *new card*, *number of cards*. I can get the contents of a field, but cannot change it. No HTMLtext of a field. Not sure what custom properties work - all dimensions, *set, get* *start using* works I've used Mark Smith's id3 library successfully on server. Lots of subroutines and custom properties.
some objects like buttons in a stack seem to crash the calling script. It would be useful to have all objects be invisibly included as they could be used as a template for a web layout. I am guessing that these are bugs that will be straightened out. THe use of "This stack" really gives the engine no clue as to what "this stack" is. I have also found this unreliable on the desktop too where there are multiple stacks in play. I find it preferable to be explicit as possible when referring to objects.
