Copy card question from 1 stack file to another

[David Squance]

Jim,
Perhaps it would work to copy one card, make sure the menu and field 
are grouped and the background behaviour is on and then clone the card 
with a repeat loop, either in the message box or with a button which 
could later be hidden or deleted, if this is a one-shot affair.  The 
button / msg box script could have a line to set the name of each card, 
if needed.
HTH,
Dave
