Is there a straightforward way to find text in a different stack? The 'find' command is really easy to demonstrate, but it's limited to searching through the same stack.

See the defaultStack global property in the Dictionary; setting that to the name of the desired stack before running the find command should do what you need.

Nice, thanks!
With a little bit of rethinking and being careful to call it just before the actual 'find' line this worked a treat.
