Thanks, Peter.

I added a little opencard script to load the image for each card, 
which is fine and solves the immediate problem.
But I was quite certain that in the past, I had a stack, with an 
image control in a background that would keep a unique image for 
each card without scripting. I must be dreaming/getting forgetful 
in my old age!
