How to add a second Background to lots of cards?

Another simple stupid question...
I want to add an additional separate background to a stack with lots of existing cards. I want this new background to be on all the cards (not just new ones I create later).
I cannot figure out how to do this. Grrrr. Please help!

Hi mouseup,
write a simple repeat loop to "place" the new bg "onto" all of your cards.
Code: Select all
...
repeat with i = 1 to the num of cards
if there is not a group "name of new bg here" of cd i then
place bg "name of new bg here" onto cd i
end if
end repeat
...
Best
Klaus
P.S.
Have you ever met mousedown?

Thanks all! I'm surprised there isn't a built-in way to do this in RunRev when making a new background- like an "apply to all cards function". I guess that explains why I couldn't find it.
PS: mouseDown is too, ahem- depressing- so I don't hang out with him. I like to hang with "UPlifting" people.
