HyperGods,

I'm moderately familiar with HyperCard, but I haven't yet figured out
how to handle this problem:  I want to loop through only those cards 
in my stack which are of a particular background type.  (For aesthetic
reasons, I want to leave the screen unlocked so the cards will page by
during the loop.)  I have a Main card, Help card, etc. which I don't 
want in the loop.

Is there a clean, non-cludge way of formatting my "repeat" statement
so that it loops through only one kind of background?

Thanks!
Paul
