I'm trying to link a "mastercard" with its detail/memo card using hypertalk,
for each new mastercard created.  Manually creating a hard link is straight-
forward and I wish to emulate that using HyperTalk.

The end result should be a detailed button that the user clicks to get to
the particular detailed card.

I've tried popping the card ID into a variable and going to that card via
"go card thisCard".  But this HyperCard gives the "...unable to locate.."
alert.  

The master & detail cards are in the same stack but with different backgrounds.

What I really like to do is emulate the Link option via HyperTalk.

Question: How do I use HyperTalk to hard-Link to another card within the same
          stack (with different backgrounds)?

-- Thanks in Advance.

P.S. A new Detailed Card is created for each new Master Card.
