Copy card question from 1 stack file to another

[Lynch, Jonathan]

If you copy the first card, and have the objects in a background (group
with backgroundbehavior set to true) then you do not need to clone the
cards from that point. Just use create card, with the current card on
the card with the desired background group.

Alternately, you could copy the original stack, then delete any cards
that you do not wish to keep in the new stack.

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
