Well, my problem of being unable to place a group on a card via a script (or message box) didn't go away by calling the group "group" or "background." (or background group, or by id) Still don't get it, but since I am able to place a group using the menu (card by card) I have given up trying to figure it out. Thanks to all for all the (otherwise) useful insights.
