Link Text

[Pete]

Thanks Terry, I found the problem.  There was indeed something in a group
script that was causing the problem.

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way but I'm trying to implement a help
system for my application.  It's a series of cards in one stack.  I've
defined a background group for the help navigation area, which is where I
have the field with the link text.  Since it's a background group, it
appears on each new card I create in the stack.  So far so good.  Problem
is, while that gets the navigation field on all the cards, it doesn't get
its contents.  So I put some code in there to copy the navigation field
contents from card 1 of the stack to the current card. The text gets
copied, but the links are no longer there, even though they are still there
on the first card in the stack.

I'm delving into yet another new area of LC, text links, so no doubt I'm
not understanding something.  Any suggestions much appreciated!
