poppop card pop card { into | after | before } ¬ [chunk of] container
The pop card command retrieves the identification (full card ID and stack path name) of a card previously saved with the push card command. If you don’t provide a container to hold the card information, pop goes directly to the popped card. If you do specify a container, pop puts the card’s identification into the container, and you don’t go anywhere. You can then check the card ID or stack to decide whether you want to return to that card. Examplespop card pop card into theCard pop card before bkgnd field "History List" pop card after last line of bkgnd field "History List"
Demo Scripton goHomeAndBack set lockmessages to true -- to leave this field up push this card go to card 3 of stack "Home" wait 30 pop card end goHomeAndBack
