How to go to newly cloned card?

[Mark MacKenzie]

Yes, this is one of the things that was driving me mad.  Upon creating 
the card, according to the literature I should have been "taken" there 
(to the freshly cloned card). 

The button with that handler is on one card, a so called master card and 
the card being cloned is another card in the same stack.  I wonder if 
the difference is that I wasn't on the cloning target card when invoking 
the clone command by using something like:

 on mouseUp
  clone this card
end mouseUp

However, as I posted just before now.  After shutting down in disgust 
for awhile, when opening up this stack project, the handler I posted 
about works like a charm. 

I will check the use of "it" as you pointed out, thank you.  It very 
well may be dodgy.  I was attempting to work to the transcript entry for 
the "clone" command.  What had caught my interest was:  "The clone 
command places the name property of the newly created object in the it 
variable."   I see now that this is not exactly what I wrote in the 
handler either.  Thanks for the tip to that point.  I will correct that 
and see what happens.

Live and oh so hopefully, I learn.
