SCRIPTS IN GROUPS

[Bill]

Thanks. It sure helps. I feel like a loser, sort of, but more and more I am
avoiding groups because they confuse me. I should have realized what
"setting the background behavior to true" would do. I have to think of a
group as always taking up the whole area of the card and not just the
bounded area that it appears to take up.
