Hi Judy,

Good tutorial and the PDF is a neat touch and very well put together. 
However I suggest you have a look at the "menuPick" message which makes 
handling tabs much easier.

When using one card per tab, here is the script I use:

on menuPick pCardName
   go to card pCardName
end menuPick

For tabs where you are hiding and showing groups, it is made easy by 
the fact that for tabbed buttons, the menuPick has 2 parameters: the 
tab just chosen and the tab previously chosen, so you cna use this:

on menuPick pNewGroup, pOldGroup
   hide group pOldGroup
   show group pNewGroup
end menuPick

Cheers,
Sarah
