Refer to Cards

[Roger Guay]

Thanks, but I don't think this will work for what I need.  What I need 
is a command that forces subsequent lines of script to  act only on a 
specified card.  Something like:

on someHandler
	Do something to look only at card x for the following lines -- this is 
the line I'm after
  	hide object 1
	show object 2
	put "something" into fld 3
	etc.
	Do something to look only at cd y for the following lines -- this is 
the line I'm after
	hide object 1
	show object 2
	put "something" into fld 3
	etc.
end someHandler

I know that SuperCard had this ability, but I don't remember the 
command.

Any help?

Thanks, Roger
