My next line of code I tried was:

put "I hope this worked!" into field "TestFirstNameField1" of card 1 of this

It didn’t put anything into that field.

When you are working on a server, you can only see what gets put into the browser. There is no stack to examine visually. Anywhere a script uses "put" without a destination, the text will go to the browser window where you can see it. Anything that is put into the stack itself won't be visible.

Each time the server runs a script, it starts from scratch. Nothing is saved from previous runs (unless you script it.) So you can't run the script on the server and then look at the stack later -- it won't have been saved.

Another option if you do want to see a real stack inside a browser is the (as yet immature) HTML5 feature. That does put a stack into a browser window, with buttons, fields, and all the basic object behaviors you are used to. It is still young yet though and has some limitations.
