Seems to me you should be able to just stop after the "clone" command 
and you will already be on that card. Why do you need to "go" to it?

If you are cloning a card that isn't the current one, then yes, the 
cloned card will appear after the original and you may not be on it. If 
that is the case, then naming "this card" is going to name the current 
card instead of the newly cloned one. Use "set the name of IT..." which 
will name the remote clone. So, I'd do this:

if there is a card "empty card" then
   go card "empty card"
else
   clone card "BulletWeightsMasterCard"  -- no need to specify the stack
                                         -- if it is the current stack
   set the name of it to "empty card"
   go cd it
end if

That doesn't work?
