you must first create cards to move things to.

a new stack has only card 1.
create card
now you have 2 cards
copy button 1 to card 2 - and voila!

you can use background behavior groups to "group" card as well. Any
non-background group in a card is not seen elsewhere than that card.

For that it's important to remember to create a group in the background
group, not outside... Or it will only appear while you visit that card. 

read the rev docs on cards and stack structures... It will help you. Each
"record" in the revdocs is a card!

To bridge this all into one easy to grasp concept, a background is like a
view to many different records with the same interface. Contrary to
Filemaker, all backgrounds do not share the same cards! So it's more complex
"if you want it"! But keep it simple. Since MetaCard and RunRev, one
background per stack suffice... 

See ya!
