I don't know if this is mentioned anywhere else, but if you hold
the option key down while doing a "Copy Card", the PICT item in
the Clipboard will contain a full-size card image, rather than
a miniature one.

There's a button in the "Readymade Buttons" stack that illustrates this,
as well as showing you a pretty hairy technique for selecting a menu item
with a modifier key.

And what could this be useful for? Can you say "custom visual effects"...?
