I'm not sure about this, but try "go background 2".  I believe backgrounds
must belong to a card (not just be free-floating), so you should be able to
scan thru "Card Info" for the cards in your stack and see which background
they claim to have.

The last item you copied or cut determines what HyperCard displays in the menu.
I don't know the answer to question 3.


Good luck.
