Disappointing that they're almost synonyms. I just checked and noticed the
difference -- that number can be used to refer to stacks in a file, while
layer apparently can't.

And again there is also the number property (used by old timers like
Jacque and myself) showing the multiple ways of accomplishing the same
task:
Specifies an object's position within a file, a card's position within a
stack, or a control's layer on a card.

He would like to have a first card that is a start/splash screen; and,
