Charles,
I believe the problem you are having is that you are going to the
substack and then using a short reference to the group, which of course
does not exist yet in the substack.
I think you want one of these methods. I don't know if one of them is
preferable to the other, but hopefully illustrative of the issue.
Basically, you either need to give the long name of the group object,
or else point Revolution to what stack it should use for interpreting
the short name.
1) Use a long name for the group
open stack "mySubstack"
copy group "myGroup" of card 1 of stack "myMainstack" to stack
"mySubstack"
2) Use the defaultStack property
open stack "mySubstack"
set the defaultStack to "myMainStack"
copy group "myGroup" to stack "mySubstack"
OK, I believe you. But I'm missing something really simple about how
to do it. (I haven't used this syntax before.) If the group is on one
card in my main stack (with its Visible set false), and in the script
of a button on the same card I open a substack and try to copy the
group to it, I get an error. If I say
copy myGroup to stack mySubstack
the error is "can't find object"; if I say
copy group myGrouop myGroup to stack mySubstack
the error is "can't find background". What basic fact(s) am I
forgetting?
Thanks for any available hand-holding. The Doc write-up on groups and
backgrounds is obviously relevant, but I can't parse an answer to this
question out of it.

How about just creating the group in an offscreen stack (or substack)

then doing "copy group <groupDesc> to <targetLoc>" every time you
want an
"instance" of the group?
