Hi,

I have been unable to resolve these questions; can anyone please help?

1.  "Stack Info..." report that I have 2 backgrounds.  typing "go next bkgnd"
    in the message box generates a "No such card." dialog.  How can I see
    and remove the second background?  Is it really there?

2.  How can I tell if the Paste menu item under Edit is "Paste Card" as opposed
    to "Paste Button" or "Paste Text" or whatever?

3.  Why does locking the screen break visual effects, no matter which call is
    made first?  (e.g., "lock screen; visual effect x y" doesn't work, but 
    neither does "visual effect x y ; lock screen".)


thanks for any and all hints and suggestions.

chris...

p.s.  Could someone please mail me the last summary you saw of recommendations
      on HyperCard (esp. HyperTalk) books?  I need some info. 
      I'll settle for "I bought this and it's [great|lousy]!"    thanks!
