advantage of this function over "the directory" property is that the

need to worry that you might have inadvertently changed the cur

also need to set the LockLocation property of the group to prevent it

I'm interested to know why you're using two stacks to do this.
Couldn't you implement the "page stack" as a group on the card that
has the "frame&q

the group to shrink to the overall dimensions of the objects in the
group.
Let me know if you find an easier way to do this. :)
In general, I prefer to get all the objects I need into a group
first, and then set the various sizes and locations afterwards by
