simple custom property question

[Charles Hartman]

OK, I believe you. But I'm missing something really simple about how  
to do it. (I haven't used this syntax before.) If the group is on one  
card in my main stack (with its Visible set false), and in the script  
of a button on the same card I open a substack and try to copy the  
group to it, I get an error. If I say

     copy myGroup to stack mySubstack

the error is "can't find object"; if I say

     copy group myGrouop myGroup to stack mySubstack

the error is "can't find background". What basic fact(s) am I  
forgetting?

Thanks for any available hand-holding. The Doc write-up on groups and  
backgrounds is obviously relevant, but I can't parse an answer to  
this question out of it.
