Send Farther Command

Syntax

send <object> {to back | farther} Applies to all objects

Description

The send farther command allows you to reposition the specified object within the sequence of all objects that exist on the current card. The to back option repositions the object to the lowest layer, or farthest from the top. The farther option moves the object one layer lower.

Notes

Changing an object's layer changes its number if it is not the only object of its class on the current card. The to back option changes the object's number to 1 and increases the numbers of all other objects of that class by 1. The farther option decreases the object's number by 1.
