Hi Andreas,

Ok, it were globals (difficult to tell from your original post :-)
If you want to clone a card from stack A into stack B and stack B is 
the default stack you can use:

  clone card ZuKopieren of stack < stackname>

the card from stack A will be cloned into stack B after the card where 
"klonen" was ordered.

!!! very important:
first  you have to check the cantmodify of stack <stackname>.
  -  If set, you first have to set it to false, clone the card and reset 
the cantmodify.
	Or you get an error message telling you the stack is locked.
  -  If not set, you can clone straight away.

so your script could become something like:

global ZuKopieren, Schuelername,gStack2Copy2, gStack2CopyFrom

on Klonen
      put ZuKopieren & "_" & Schuelername into NeuerName
      put the cantmodify of stack gStack2CopyFrom into tCantModif
      set  the cantmodify of stack gStack2CopyFrom to false
   --go card ZuKopieren
      set the default stack to gStack2Copy2
      clone card ZuKopieren of stack gStack2CopyFrom
      set  the cantmodify of stack gStack2CopyFrom to tCantModif
      set the name of  it to NeuerName
end Klonen



HTH
