It's really just a matter of style, for instance, I *never* use the card method for this. I only use multiple card stacks in a couple places:
1) Wizards
2) I many times use the 2nd card in a stack to store all the icons for the first card.
This goes along with the concept of keeping the data and presentation layers completely seperate. HyperCard (and to an extent RunRev) allow users to mix the two, I prefer not to for a variety of good reasons.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. If we're talking about a way to set up a tab panel, we're not talking about data at all. The different cards would have different controls -- presentation layers, if you prefer -- on them.
If you're talking about data vs. presentation, then are you talking about the common practice of using HyperCard stacks as a database? You have a multi-card stack with a common group of controls, with different data in the fields on each card. I also generally prefer not to do that, although I'm not religious about it. Apart from philosophical issues, it limits you to several thousand records (in Revolution) as beyond that stacks become significantly slow to open and save.
