Well, I'm very sorry to have bothered people (and spent a lot of my own
time) pleading for a cause that didn't exist. The reason I did so is that
Scott's post did say that these functions would be deprecated and said we
should move away from them. I know that Scott is part of MetaCard and not
Runtime, but I think you can see why such a statement from "the man" himself
led me to believe that the functions in question were indeed likely to be
removed. 

Although some people were debating about the future behaviors of the
functions, I believe that even more were talking about how to get by without
them, so I may not have been the only one who was mistaken in thinking the
functions were over the trash chute lid and the level was about to be
pulled. 

Again, sorry, and thanks for clarifying what's going on so that we don't
have to worry about it. Sheesh! There's nothing like worrying and arguing
for something and then finding out it was all for nothing and it would have
been better to have stayed in bed.
