How do I shorten this script? Use 'repeat with'?

[hakan at exformedia.se]

You could use two variables like tName and tPrevious

set the loc of grc "k1" to cardWidth/2,cardHeight/2
put ”k1” into tPrevious
repeat with i = 2 to 5
   put ”k” & i into tName
   set the topleft of grc tName to the topright of grc tPrevious
   put tName into tPrevious
end repeat

Coding out of my head so reserve for mistakes!
