building a control -- Well trying anyway

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Nakia,

The problem is that tNewControl contains a long ID. If a variable 
contains a long ID, you don't need to put "group" before the variable. 
Because the long ID is a complete reference, you don't need to add a 
reference to a card or a stack either.

Correct is:

set the rect of tNewGroup to tRect

Incorrect is:

set the rect of group tNewGroup of the current card of the current stack 
to tRect
