Yes I did figure it out. I was getting the ID of this card, which
always seems to refer to the first card that the group the button
belonged to was placed on, hence always getting 1002 for the ID.
Getting the name seems to do the same thing. But getting the NUMBER
returns the correct result. As I said in another post, I find that
odd, but I am probably not seeing the "big picture".
Since groups can be placed and removed on cards at any time, and the
card sort order can be changed at anytime, the card id sequence has no
real meaning for groups. In fact, a group does not have to even be on
any card, thus the id would be missing.
Once created, a group can be deleted from that card and that group
will still be part of the stack, available for placement on any card
in that stack. A group
Card 5 and card 20 always mean the same thing, no matter if cards are
sorted, deleted, added.

Bob's experience, quoted below, seems odd. I don't think this is
normal LC behavior. Something has gone wrong, it seems. I might
have missed a reply to Bob that explains it, but I didn't see one.
Did you ever figure it out, Bob?
on mouseUp
push card
set lockscreen to "true"
set lockmessages to "true"
put the number of cards into tNum
repeat with i = 2 to tNum
if the shiftkey is down then exit repeat
set cursor to busy
go to card i
put the id of this card & return after tCardId
end repeat
pop card
put tCardId
end mouseUp
I tried this in a card button and a background button. It worked
fine, either way. No duplicate card IDs.
Reply to Peter:
"Mark cards where..." Oh! That is awesome! I'd forgotten about that
command.
Also forgot about "mark cards by finding "x" in field "y"
Also forgot about "unmark cards where..." and "unmark cards by
finding..."
These commands combine simplicity with blazing speed. You can do a
lot with them. Thanks for reminding me.
