or this?

     -- deletes cards that are still marked
     if the number of marked cards > 0 then
       go invisible to the first card
       repeat for the number of marked cards
         go invisible to next marked card
         PUT "deleting card" && the name of this card after msg
         delete this card
       end repeat
     end if


But how come "delete marked cards" doesn't work in the first place? Or, 
am I just missing something - in addition to holding a conversation 
with myself?
