A stack may have multiple backgrounds, each of which can be shared by a
group of cards.  To create a new background, simple select the "new Background"
choice under the "Objects" menu.  This will place you in a new card with a
new background.  You can then modify the background by selecting Command-B
(or Background choice under the Edit menu) and adding text, graphics, buttons,
fields or whatever to it.  You know you're editing the background because
HyperCard puts a bar of diagonal stripes just below the menu bar.  You can
write a script for the background, and modify the other background information
by selecting "Background Info" under "Objects".  The rest you can figure out,
I'm sure.
