avoid things like "go card n" within a loop, since that takes lots
of time.
After the list of card id's is generated, you would not use a repeat
loop to access the cards using 'go card n' in that loop.
If the user is navigating, it would be one at a time through the list.
Otherwise, access to the card data would not be by navigating to the
card ( or the stack, or the substack )
You cold retrieve data from any card in any stack or substack without
navigating.
Thus you could have multiple lists and multiple stacks at the same
time using multiple criteria.
This is more flexible for future development schemes than would
compare multiple lists and data sets.
Hope this gives someone an idea or two that might be easier than
learning SQL, etc.
