Steve,
----------------------
Comprehensive answer
----------------------

go here:

http://www.runrev.com/developers/lessons-and-tutorials/tutorials/online-scripting-conferences/

scroll down to number 6 -- groups and backgrounds

download the stack

----------------------
Specific answer
----------------------
Groups themselves are objects: their properties can be inspected and set via the object inspector by using the menu command Oject--Object Inspector

click on Basic Properties

Near the bottom you will see a box that says:

Behave like a background

-- check that box

The group should then think it is back in Hypercardland and appear on every card.

(I just copied this desciption from Judy's stack. She's the one you need to thank).

Good luck,

Mike
