A useful nugget -- if you need to get the current card of a stack that is not the frontmost stack, use the undocumented term "currentcard" (note lack of space character) -- as in:
put the currentcard of stack "myStack" into cc
which gets you something like:
card id 1002

"Currentcard" is equivalent to "this card" but works with any open stack, returning the id of the card that is currently showing in that stack. In your case this is unnecessary, as you are apparently needing to deal only with the one stack, so "this card" will do fine.

Mark,

put the number of this  cd
put the number of the current cd
put the number of this cd of stack "Foo"
put the number of the current cd of stack "Foo"

I think there is a FAQ on the RunRev homepage but probably it isn't
what you're looking for. I'd be happy to host a FAQ on runrev.info if
we (the list) can agree on what should be included in such a FAQ.

1. How can I get the number of the current card (and put it into a
field or variable)?
  Related: since I am reading a property from an object will the
solution to this problem generalize to all properties for all objects?

2. Has someone compiled a FAQ from this mailing list and where can I
find it.

Thanks

Mark Smith
