Why Does "remove" Actually "delete"?

[Scott Rossi]

I've been trying to figure out how to "place" a group by script.  It took me
a while to figure out that "place groupŠ" doesn't work, but instead "place
backgroundŠ".

Now when I execute "remove bkgnd xyz from this cd" the group ends up getting
deleted from the stack, even though the group resides on a completely
different card.

What am I missing here?  Thanks for any clarification.
