   Can searches, possible successive, return graphic objects which are 
superimposed onto one card graphically, as FileVision (tm) does?  My 1st
reading of Goodman suggests not, sigh.  The application here happens to be
snake-telemetry data: we'd like to enter tracks into cards by days, say, and
then search for and have superimposed the tracks for an entire week.

I'm not a novice Mac-er or programmer (my undergrad degree is in Comp Sci,
and tho old, was from UC Santa Cruz, well ahead of its time; I've since
earned my living fussing with lab computers.  But they're no longer much
intrinsic interest, and Hypercard looks wonderfully pragmatic. Potentially.
Besides, Atkinson & I were 4th grade chums in L.G. ... a long time ago, in
a realm now unaffordable to mere mortals.)
