Group, huh? Okay, that's good. I've got Dan's book, found substacks, 
didn't find backgrounds. But I overlooked groups.

Here it is... Page 60. Man, that's one dense paragraph! I guess 
groups are like backgrounds in some ways, not in others. Once again, 
it seems like Rev is a space shuttle when all I really need is a hang 
glider. Good old hyperCard plus a few externals was just right for me!

Nevertheless, now I've got a clue... a head start. I'll open my HC 
stacks in Rev, look to see how Rev defines the backgrounds as groups, 
and what attributes they have, and go from there.

Unless someone has better advice.

Thanks a bunch, Frank :-)
