Surprising little issue

Hi Scott,

...
## maybe "on closecard"
   set the uCurrentState fo btn "your checkbox here" to the hilite of  
btn  "your checkbox here"
...

Then you can retrieve and re-use/set this value with:
...
## maybe "on preopencard"
set the hilite of btn  "your checkbox here" to the uCurrentState fo  
btn "your checkbox here"
## you might need to add a descriptor:  ... of cd x of stack y
...

Should also work with cars ;-)
