# Syntax
get the charSet of stack
# Examples
if the charSet of this stack is "MacOS" then put "Mac" into thePlatform
# Description
If the charSet is "MacOS", the stack was last saved on a Mac OS; if the charSet is "ISO", the stack was last saved on a Unix or Windows.
When you open a stack on a Mac OS system that was last saved on a Unix or Windows system (or vice versa), the text in the stack is translated automatically to the appropriate character set. The process can take a perceptible amount of time, so it's a good idea to save a stack destined for a particular platform on that platform before delivering it to users.
The charSet property is changed for all stacks in the same stack file when the stack file is saved, so it is not possible for two stacks in the same file to have a different charSet.
