This script is rather detailed and split into a million pieces.  The 
gist of it is that I locked the screen, moved things around, and then 
unlocked the screen.  In this case it's okay to let the user see the 
moves.

In another part of the script, lock screen didn't lock the screen, 
and you could see all the things moving.  In that case I took the 
lock screen out, created a card sized graphic to show to block 
everything from view while the moves were occurring.

After so many years tweaking Hypercard to do more than it was 
intended to do, if there's a way to work around a problem, I will 
probably find it :-)
