Getting a list of groups on a card

[Mike Bonner]

I put this in a button and it seemed to do pretty well. Is there any reason
to NOT do this with try/catch and toss the error?

*on mouseUp*
*   put 1 into i*
*   repeat until tDone*
*      wait 100 milliseconds with messages*
*      try *
*         put the long id of group i & return after tGroups*
*         add 1 to i*
*      catch tErr*
*-- ignore tErr*
*         put true into tDone*
*      end try*
*   end repeat*
*   put tGroups*
*end mouseUp*
