Hello!    

I am still a new comer to HC.  I have what I believe to be a very simple
problem to be solved...except I can't solve it - yet!


I am working on an instructional stack where a user selects the right answers
to a given problems (Questions A-N).  They are prompted with immediate feed 
back after they have made their selection with a pop-on field.  

Now I need these fields hidden for the next time a new user sits down to use
the stack.

What I have done...and I thought it worked great at first...was to script
each card with:  



on closeStack
	repeat with i=1 to 3
	hide card field i
	set hilite of card button i to false -- check boxes need to be unchecked	end repeat
end closeStack

Low and behold, this only works on the card from which I close.  I need all the
fields which are visible to be invisible for Questions/(Cards) A-N.
I have placed this same script in the background script and the stack script  
with no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am sorry for such a simple 
question. 

Thank you,
