Thank you Sarah. Not as easy as backgrounds in HC, but I can see it
is more flexible. It was the "Place Group" that made it a puzzle. So
the steps are:
1. Create an object
2. With that object selected, choose "Group" from the menu or ToolBar
3. Open the object's Property Inspector
4. Check the "Behave as Background" checkbox or set the
backgroundBehavior to true
5. Go to each card and choose "Place Group" from the Object Menu
OR, with a large number of cards, write a script to accomplish the
above actions.

I have the beginnings of an application/stack. I've created the menus

scrolling text field with it's contents to all of the cards in the
easiest possible manner. How? Involves some more grouping, but I
don't see how.
Create your field, select it and choose "Group" from the menu or
toolbar. It doesn't matter if there is only 1 object in a group. Then
in the group's properties set the backgroundBehavior to true. This
will make it appear on every new card, but it needs to be manually
placed on all existing cards. Go to every card and choose "Place
group" from the Object menu. If you have more than a few cards, it
might be worth writing a script to do the placing - look up 'place' in
the dictionary.
As with Hypercard's backgrounds, this group is a single object even
though it appears on all cards, so editing it on one card applies to
all. Set sharedText to true or false depending on whether you want the
text to be the same on every card.
HTH,
Sarah
