Thanks to Mark and Dar for your replies. I'm afraid I didn't explain myself clearly, and I chose a stupid example of what I thought was the 'wrong' card reference, which obscured my real problem, which is this - the handler which I've called "doSomething" was written to take advantage of the con

I think a point that's being missed here is Graham's quote from the dictionary in his original post: "Therefore references within the message that refer to "this card" or "this stack" will be referring to the card or stack where the target handler is located." Clearly, that's not the case in this
