Jerry,
A sheet is just a fancy modal dialog box that is peculiar to OSX. The main difference between a sheet and a regular dialog is that a sheet appears to be attached to (part of) a specific window rather than appearing as a unique window. It allows the parent window to be moved about and only blocks interaction with the parent window so that, if the user wants, they can move the sheeted (parent) window to the side and look at or interact with other windows. It has a nice look and in some circumstances is probably the best way to show a dialog in OSX. Rev makes using sheets easy by allowing the built in ASK and ANSWER dialogs to be shown as sheets simply by adding the phrase "as sheet" . Rev also allows most any stack to be easily shown as a sheet of another stack.

I'm looking to open a stack as a sheet but I need to make sure it opens to a specific card. Because it needs to stop script execution I'm doing the following:


Scott, what's a "sheet"? (Win and Linux guy here, only recently exposed to Mac by gift of an ancient G3)
