Refer to Cards

[Roger Guay]

Thanks to all for your replies.

What I was really hoping for was 1 line of code preceding multiple 
lines that directs the multiple lines to work on a specified card.  I'm 
trying to avoid having to put a card reference on the multiple lines.  
Something like:

Repeat with i = 1 to the number of cards
	focus on cd i --for this repeat cycle
	do something -- note: no cardd reference
	do something
	etc.
end repeat

Thanks, Roger
