Yes, when I start afresh with making two stacks one with a button that goes 
from one stack to the other and back again, all is well.

I was doing this same thing earlier, but running the script from the multi-line 
message box. There, of course, the focus is on the message box and stays on the 
message box. So, my confusion.

Also, my original working two stacks have a lot going on as far as close stack 
operations that I am sure are complicating things.

What I’m seeing now in my original stacks, not before, is, my scripts now leave 
the two stacks in a sort of limbo land. The focus does stay on stack B, even 
though the very last line of any script says to go stack A. However the focus 
isn’t completely on stack B—it doesn’t show the shadow property fully until you 
physically click on that stack. Also, while the focus seems to be on stack B, 
command/3 changes cards on stack A. But an arrowkey message is not received by 
stack A, but only by stack B.

I suspect something might have changed along the line in LC or my stacks, or 
both. This is not a pressing issue for me at this time, and I would rather let 
it stay in limbo land for now…
