I'm probably missing something obvious, but I can't figure out how to copy a 
background in hypertalk.  I want to take a default background, copy it and
make some changes several times under program control.  Currently I'm doing
this by putting the background in another stack since copying and pasting a
card from another stack always creates a new background.  Seems like there 
should be a more elegant way though.

Thanks,

	Blake.
