[Anyone for comp.sys.mac.hypercard? or comp.lang.hypercard?

Here's another one that should be a no-brainer, but the information doesn't
seem to be in the Goodman book. I want to have a line on one of my cards
that says "card #<num> of <num>". I can find the second value, the total
number of cards. I can't find any documentation for getting what card number
this is. Goodman simply says "since cards can be re-arranged, use the card
id and not that card number" -- well, I WANT that card number.

Any idea what the variable for this it?
