The dictionary says I can refer to the group created by the group

used this successfully? For me, it is returning information about a
group with a lower ID than the one created by the group command.

It depends on what you have selected before using the group command.
Perhaps what you have selected cannot be made into a group
try 'Tools:Application Browser'
and locate all of the groups and note their layer position & id
Also try
put the number of groups in this card into cdGroupCount
-- or -- put the number of groups into cdGroupCount
put the number of groups in this stack into stkGroupCount
You should check the numbering of the groups.
Remember, the key words 'first' 'last' refer to the layering sequence,
such as
field 1, first field
button 4, card 18
when using last card, first card .. the id of the cards can change if
the cards are sorted into a different order.
Groups are not really intuitive, so you should give a little more
detail about your steps that fail so we can give a better answer.
Hope this helps.
