Where does the memory go?

Richard,

Thanks for the tip.  I haven't run into that problem yet, because I  
have only created one card stacks.  I do all the stuff that one might  
do with multiple cards, with multiple invisible groups, and keeping  
different data sets in custom properties.  I like the additional  
control I have over the interface, and it also makes the stack more  
compact.
