Multiple cards method (each tab is a card)

Each bush of controls you need for each tab is placed on a specific  
card and the tabbed buton is placed as a group at the lower level  
with its background behavior set to true on all these cards.
Each click on a tab goes to a specific card.

   on menuPick pNewItem,pOldItem
     go card pNewItem
     -- assuming that the names of the cards are the names of the tabs
   end menuPick

Groups method (show/hide groups based on tab selection)

This second method requires a single card.
All controls corresponding to a tab are grouped: there are as many  
groups as you want tabs
When the user chooses a tab, you show the corresponding group and  
hide others.

   on menuPick pNewItem,pOldItem
     lock screen -- ensures a clean transition
     hide group pOldItem -- current visible group
     show group pNewItem --  clicked tab
     unlock screen
     -- assuming that the names of the groups are the names of the tabs
   end menuPick
