copy group to substack?

[Charles Hartman]

I know my explanation was a mess; sorry.

Following your Place suggestion (thanks, I'd forgotten that command),  
I've tried this:
1. in a handler in the main stack, copy the correct group to the  
substack (NOT a card
     in a substack); rename it (from "lineimagegroup7" or  
"lineimagegroup3" or whatever
     to "lineImage")
2. in the openCard handler in the substack, issue a command "place  
group 'lineImage'
     of this stack onto this card"
When I do that, I get an error message: "group is not in this stack  
or is already on this card".
