   "Show" and "hide" don't really work on *individual cards* within a stack. 
You can show/hide components on a card, you can show/hide entire stacks, but 
you can't show/hide cards in a stack. Interestingly, and perhaps analogously, 
you also can't show/hide specific words within a field; try "hide word 2 of 
field 'Fred'", for instance, and *the entire field* will be hidden, not just 
word 
2 within that field.

>If it should then it don't, my question is why?
   When a stack opens, the first card in that stack automatically appears on 
screen, provided that you haven't played any funky games like opening the 
stack to a hidden window or something. This being the case, "show card1" seems 
like it'd be kind of redundant even if you *could* show/hide individual 
cards... 
*unless* "card1" ISN'T the first card in that stack. In that case, you 
probably want "go to card1" instead.
   If card1 is the actual name of the specific card you want to display: I'd 
recommend putting it in quote-marks. Yes, Rev *can* figure it out anyway, but 
sometimes Rev gets it wrong...
   If you left the quote-marks off *on purpose*, because card1 is a variable, 
and you want to show the card whose name is in that variable: In the code you 
supplied, the contents of the variable card1 aren't defined. If the contents 
of the variable card1 truly *aren't* defined *anywhere*, you'll get an error 
message -- try "hide field" or "hide button" *without* specifying *which* 
field/button, and you should get the same error. Liikewise, "go to card" 
*without* 
specifying *which* card should give you that same error.

   Hope this helps...

1. check if the name of the card is really "card1" - maybe you modified 
it accidentally.

2. include the name in quotes (") - it's safer.
3. if you have selected "check variables" (preferences), you MUST 
include the name in quotes, because it would expect a variable called 
"card1" otherwise:

put "card1" into card1
go card card1
this would work then, though it would be bad style.
Cheers,
Thomas G.

Hi Mr. Salyers,
on openstack
  show card1
end openstack
Should this code make card1 visible when run?
If a stack is opened, it will automatically show card 1,
so this is not necessary at all!
Something like this would make sense:
on openstack
  go card 2
end openstack

If it should then it don't, my question is why?
See above...
But the official syntax would be:
...
go card 1
...
## A space between card and 1!
