groups and background

[Geoff Canyon]

I wouldn't say it has _no_ benefit, just that the behavior change of 
copying groups to new cards can be done in another way. As far as I 
understand it, the backgroundBehavior property is for HyperCard 
compatibility, not feature-enrichment.

The message path modifying aspect would be harder (impossible?) to 
replicate, but you could do something like it by inserting the script 
of the group in back. It wouldn't be in the same place in the path, 
though.
