Stephen Kurtzman (kurtzman@pollux.usc.edu) writes that every now and then,
when he cuts a card and pastes it elsewhere in the stack it is given a
new background -- I have experienced this as well, the card is cut OK, and
it looks fine when it is pasted back, but it is given a new background ID. This
is a major pain if you have scripts with lines like "go to next card of this
background", among others.  I haven't spent alot of time trying to isolate the
problem, but it seemed to occur only if I sorted the stack between cutting
a card and pasting it.  Since I gave up on using HyperCard's sort feature in
that particular stack, the problem seems to have gone away.
