Hi all,
	for the past couple of months, I've been developing a stack to 
assist teachers in diagnosing misconceptions that high school students
have about physics.  When entering a new question, my script creates a new
card by copying a "master" template card which I have set up and then pasting
it with a new name "temp".
	But the problem is that sometimes when I paste the "temp" card,
it has a new background ID and the new card is the only card associated
with that background!!!  Having a million backgrounds expands the stack
size alot when your background script is about 20K :-).  Any ideas on
what the problem is or how to fix it?  Any and all help would be appreciated!!

Thanks in advance.
