Two questions about the Print Report feature in Hypercard 2.0:

1. I want to use the "Dynamic Height" setting so the entire content
   of all my scrollable fields gets onto the paper. It's okay if a
   card takes up more than one page. But I want every card to start
   on a new page. I can't figure out how to make this happen. Any 
   ideas?

2. I have two different backgrounds in my stack, and I have a
   report template defined for each. The backgrounds are mixed 
   in the stack, and the order of the cards matters. I'd like to
   write a script that loops through the whole stack printing each
   card with the report template appropriate for the background. 
   Can I do this? My attempts so far have failed to find the right
   incantation for "If the background of this card is so-and-so..."

Thanks.
