I am developing a user interface in HyperCard 2.0 and am creating
buttons in my scripts using the menu command "New Button." Because
the new button has the highest card button number, I figure that
after selecting the New Button with the button tool,
one send farther command will push it behind the button which
formerly had the highest card button number.  However, this does
not appear to be the case:  for one card it works fine, but for
another card two send farther commands are required -- the first
one apparently does absolutely nothing.

Does anyone know the cause of this problem or has anyone encountered
a similar situation in HyperCard?  I regularly read comp.sys.mac.hypercard
but have never seen such a problem mentioned.  Please mail responses
to me at krantz@eniac.seas.upenn.edu.

Thank you
