Thanks, Chipp & Jacque, that worked. Since this difference between
"copy" and "clone" might be missed by someone else (and also just for
fun), I added a "web note" to the "copy" command (hmmm, maybe I should
have added it to "clone" instead), and — perhaps I shouldn't be amazed
by this — that worked just fine too! (i.e. I can download/read my web
note when I'm on a different computer).

More to the meat of my problem, suppose one wanted to create a
'clone' of one of these group members. Some simple mouse interaction
like clicking on a group member would create a copy of the control,
stuck to the mouse until the user clicked somewhere to "drop" it.
Mouse stuff aside, "clone" all by itself doesn't do what I want,
because it creates, not a new ungrouped control that looks like the
clicked-on control, but another group member. This makes sense, I
suppose, since you are "cloning" all of the properties of the
control, including its owner. So how does one do what I want?
Use the "copy" command instead:
copy btn 1 to this cd
Makes a copy of button 1 on the card layer rather than inside the
group.

Jerry,
How about
copy btn "myButton" to this card
or something along those lines..?
