"Backgrounds" are a much different beast in Revolution than in
HyperCard and SuperCard. They're a bit harder to grasp conceptually,

They are folded into the concept of groups, so you'll want to find
out all you want about groups, especially the backgroundBehavior
property.
I put together some notes about Rev groups for the students in my
beginning Rev programming class. You can read them at:

Excellent stuff, David.

In addition to reviewing the message path, it has interest for the SC

implemented in Rev, and their relationship to HC's libraries which are
also Rev also supports.
