Sometimes that is true, but Tim's stacks are HyperCard ports and they 
have the HCAddressing set to true. That means it acts like HC and there 
are background fields and card fields, as well as bg buttons and card 
buttons. All HC imports act this way unless you change it.

One reason the "find" command may not be working is if the script is 
refering to a bg group that isn't placed on the current card.

Tim: the best thing to do is check "the result" after using the find 
command and see what it says. The cause of the error should be in there. 
I've used "mark cards by finding" a lot without any problem, so there is 
something else going on.
