I was hoping to be able to get the names of the groups on the card ( I have
3) not not all 16 groups that exist nested within these first groups - but I
guess you can't.

Thanks for this I'll look into a naming scheme, although I'd hoped to be
able to create group objects which I could paste onto the card, or within
another group. In order to do this I would want to be able to know the names
of the objects that a group contains, find out the names of groups that
belong to the same object and so forth.
This would be a lot easier if "the groupnames" worked like "the
directories". It does! I've just checked and while:
1) put (the number of groups in this card) = 15 -- ie every nested group
2) put the number of lines of (the groupnames of this card) = 2
Interestingly (even though 2 backgrounds are placed on the card):
3) put the number of backgrounds of this card = 0 -- ???
While:
4) put the number of backgrounds of this card = 4 -- the number in the
stack.
But alas!
5) put the groupNames of group "Read"
Does not work as it is only a card property (feature request Scott?).
