I was playing around with the executionContexts and came up with a more readable format for it, for anyone who's interested. The executionContexts returns something like:
button id 1053 of group id 1040 of card id 1002 of stack "/Users/pmbrig/Documents/LiveCode/pmbLib.rev",mouseup,114 group id 1040 of card id 1002 of stack "/Users/pmbrig/Documents/LiveCode/pmbLib.rev",doTest,7 altExecutionContexts returns something like: button "test" of bkgnd "handlerGp" of stack "pmbLib",mouseup,114 bkgnd "handlerGp" of stack "pmbLib",doTest,7 Handlers below. -- Peter Peter M.
