I tried to use the command:

close card window

in a button on a help stack.  I get the error:

Can't understand arguments to "close"

I looked this up in the HyperTalk Reference stack that came with my paid
upgrade from Claris.  Card 2 of 2 of the "close" card says:

The close card window command closes the current stack (unless it's the
only open stack).

This is exactly what I want.  I used cut and paste to put the close card
window command above, so I know it is not a typo.  What gives?

OBVIOUSLY, this is not the only open stack. (let's just nip that one in the
bud. :-)
