Well, the solution for that is simple. Fore-grounds, as you call them, are cards. Card fields or buttons need to have the adjective "card" placed before them. Examples: get the loc of field 1 - Will return the location of background field one. If none, then an error. get the loc of card field 1 - Will return the location of card field one. If none, then an error. Without the adjective, HT assumes you want the background field, not the card (fore-ground?) field. Hope this helps... Mark Murphy, Tyrell Co.

Try "put xxxxxx into card field xxxxx". Goodman's book is not very clear about
this but the Shafer book on HyperTalk points this difference out early.
