I'm using 5.0 right now, and I see that I can turn off "behave like a background." I don't really see any functional difference.
At any rate, I was able to make a group that lies in the top layer. I have to manually (using the Object menu) place it on each card. The place command gives me an error: place group "Waiting" onto this card results in: Message execution error: Error description: Chunk: can't find background Peter On May 22, 2012, at 6:14 PM, J.
