 Thanks, but I don't think this will work for what I need. What I need 
is a command that forces subsequent lines of script to act only on a 
specified card. Something like:

on someHandler
 Do something to look only at card x for the following lines -- this 
is the line I'm after
 hide object 1
 show object 2
 put "something" into fld 3
 etc.
 Do something to look only at cd y for the following lines -- this is 
the line I'm after
 hide object 1
 show object 2
 put "something" into fld 3
 etc.
 end someHandler

I know that SuperCard had this ability, but I don't remember the 
command.

Any help?
Thanks, Roger

On the contrary, you can use the mark command in this case.
But your pseudocode is not very clear to me.
Anyway try something like:
on someHandler
   set defaultstack to <stackname>
   mark cards where (the script of this cd contains " hide object 1") 
and  (the script of this cd contains "show object 2")

  <then do something like:>
   repeat with i = 1 to the number of marked cds
     do the things you have to do with or on marked cd i
   end repeat
end someHandler
May be it is not similar to Supercards system and may be not really in 
1 line :-),
but the mark command works on card scripts as well.

HTH.
