Hmm. The recentCards property mixes (long names of) cards from all stacks -- I guess that's what the "go recent" command consults. The recentNames property lists (short names of) cards from the current stack (or a named stack, as in "put the recentNames of stack myStack"), which is what I want. So the information is available.

But the only mechanism I can find for *navigating* with these lists is "go recent" -- and I haven't found any way to restrict that to cards of one (sub)stack. My best guess so far ("go recent card of stack mySubStack") is accepted by the message box, but the stack restriction in the command doesn't seem to have any effect -- I just go back through the recentCards history list in all stacks, including IDE stacks.

What am I missing this time??

Thanks. Unfortunately that doesn't behave quite the way I need -- it goes back through cards no matter what stack they're in. I need the buttons to navigate just within the substack. So I'm looking at ways to parse the recentCards property. (Messy, but easier than building my own specialized history list.) Thanks for the tip!

Yup:

  go back
  go forth -- or the synonym "go forward"


If you want to exclude particular cards from the visited list, and you know the user will be going to one of those cards, set the lockrecent property to true ahead of time. When lockrecent is true, cards are not added to the history trail.

See the "go" entry in the dictionary for lots of other options too.
