New Group Info?

[RCS]

  Yes, 'create group' does indeed create an empty group, and return the id
in the variable 'it'. The 'group' command also creates a new group, but it
does not return anything. The 'group' command is better because you can
select several objects, call 'group', and create a new group with the
selected controls all in one shot...but you have no reference to what the id
of the new group is.

  The id that is assigned using 'group'  is the very next id in line for
groups, so I suppose you could call 'create group'...get that id...call
'group'...and then use the next id for your group (and delete the other
group afterwards). I detest workarounds though...
