Best way to do it is to write a script.  That way, whereas it might take
the entire afternoon, he doesn't have to do it.  Just do something like:

screenlock true  (forget if that's the command format)
put 1 into counter (or starting card #)
repeat (# cards in stack2)
  open stack 2
  go to card counter
  domenu Copy Card
  open stack 1
  go to last card
  domenu Paste Card
  add 1 to counter
end repeat

That's a rough sketch, but I'm sure you can get the picture from that.
