control layer in a grp

[Phil Davis]

Hi Scott,

To find the relative layer of a control whose name is unique to the 
current card, his will work:

   put (the layer of control "abc") into tObjectLayer
   put (the layer of the owner of control "abc") into tGroupLayer
   put (tObjectLayer - tGroupLayer) into tObjectRelativeLayer

I broke it into 3 statements to prevent line wrapping - you could do it 
all in one line if so inclined.

HTH -
Phil Davis
