Thats great! Thankyou for the fast reply!

Thus spake “brownrob”:

Glad to help.

BTW, I wouldn’t recommend using any of these except 3.0.17. Several
of the bugs corrected in earlier releases were rather serious.

Joel,

I think the return to any deck and setup stack by location name are in
there somewhere. Can’t remember when.

If you have time, could you look for them? (Or suggest to me where I
should look?) I’d like to add them to the list.

Sounds okay to me. I’m intending to generalise it a bit better so
that other elements can understand location names, but it’s further
down on my list right now.
