For some reason I've never understood, there is no menu item to copy a card, but it is easy to do in script or the message box:

  copy this card

Once that's done you can use Cmd-V to paste the card into the target stack. Alternately you can do:

  copy card x of stack y to stack z

For only a few cards, I usually find it easier to just leave "copy this card" in the message box, hit the return key, and manually paste into the target stack. After that all I have to do is navigate to the next card I want to copy and hit the return key again in the message box.

If you have a fair number of cards to move, then a short handler with a repeat loop is easier, using the "copy ... to" option above.

Do I need to do this in code? Or is there an IDE way to copy groups and other 
elements, including their scripts, from one card of a stack to another card of  
another stack?
