But is the number accurate?
If so, I presume it is just comparing the saved loc of the stack to the
screenRects, but what if the saved loc is not in any of the screenRects,
then what does 'the screen of stack' return? 1 by default? or something
else?
I could, of course, but a second monitor, and create a test stack to
determine all this, but some one at LiveCode should know (or be able to
tell from the code) and then, as I said, I will add it to the Dictionary
entry.

Curiously, it also returns the screen number for stacks that are not open.

How exactly is this determined? I presume it is based on the loc (location)
property of the stack, since the window (effective rect or rect) itself can
span multiple monitors, but the loc of a stack, being a point, must be one only
a single monitor.
However, if someone with applicable knowledge could confirm that it would be
appreciated. The Dictionary does not clarify how the screen is determined.
It would also help if someone could confirm that the screen value is
meaningless until the stack/window is opened (much like that the effective rect
is meaningless until a stack is opened)?
If someone from the mothership can verify, I would be happy to open a doc bug,
update the dictionary, and generate a PR for an update to the screen property
Dictionary entry to clarify these two points.
