Sorry Bob - I had two ideas in mind and managed to mangle them together 
to give an incomplete answer.
This should have read ....

on mouseDoubleUp
  if the hilitedLine is not empty then
     put the hilitedLine of me into tLineNumber
     put line tLineNumber of me into tTheText
     put itemOffset(tTheText, sCommandNames) into tCardNumber
     if tCardNumber > 0 then   go card tCardNumber
  end if
end mouseDoubleUp
