Was: How to go to newly cloned card? shoudl be "Timing clone issues"

[Thomas McGrath III]

Jac,

That doesn't 'always' work for me. I have had to include a send in time 
or in 30 milliseconds to get it to work 'all the time' ALSO, by putting 
it outside of the current handler I have less errors and problems FWIW.
