Hello MetaCard users,

i have some problems with MetaCard (Version 1.3 on a SPARC engine)

1) I need to specify a container to use the push and pop funktionality.
Using only push and pop without a container specified works fine (to show
the last visited card), but i need a second, where i can push all visited
cards and pop all cards in reverse order.
a) How do i spoecify a container to use push and pop?
b) How do i ask, if the container is empty before executing pop?

2) I used radiobuttons to activate an envent wich shows an other card.
After going back to the card with the radiobuttons shows that the
radiobutton is still pressed. Activating an other radiobutton shows both
radiobuttons pressed down. In the construction-mode (building the stack
with MetaCard) the radiobuttons were not shown to be selected.
How can i deselect a radiobutton?

3) Is it possible to open a MetaCard stack on a special card, not on the
first one? For example using a parameter ("Stackname Cardname") in the unix
shell and the parameter is the name of the card.
How does this work?

Thanks for all help
