selecting a group

[Sarah]

You will have to be more specific if you use this syntax. Your card 
obviously has multiple graphics and unless you specify that you are 
referring to a graphic by it's number within a group, when you ask for 
graphic Z or graphic X, it just takes the number as specifying how they 
are layered on the card. As far as I know, there is no way to set a 
"default group" so that every reference points to that group rather 
than the card in general.

Cheers,
Sarah
