novice question re "marked" and customkeys

[Pete]

I think Mike's solution is the best.  I didn't know you could mark cards in
the way he suggested - doesn't seem much point in rolling your own when LC
can do it for you.  I guess the performance thing could be an issue if you
can't use a custom property and there's a large number of cards.
