UnNesting Nested Groups

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

I seem to have gotten myself in a fix  I can't find a way out of:

Make a group... lots of controls, name it "base controls"

Fumble a bit with mis-selections and click the "Group" icon on the menu 
bar inadvertently, maybe twice, and now have in the Application Browser 
(where the following GRP represents the group Icon)

GRP: Base controls
GRP:     group id 1239
GRP:         group ID 1240
GRP:            group ID 1241
                        field FirstName
                        Field Last Name
                        btn: "Listing"
                        etc. (some 40+ more controls)


Now, these controls were originally in the group "Base Controls" and 
now they have mysteriously moved to an "interior group" with no name, 
Since there a lot of data already entered, deleting groups is not an 
option...  i can click on the group and edit it.. "(Base Controls is 
selected first) click again and get the next group, click again, get 
the next group, then click a third time and finally I am selecting 
individual controls in the group ID 1241...

How can one un-nest this mess and get back to simply:

GRP: Base controls
  		field FirstName
		Field Last Name
		btn: "Listing"
		etc. (some 40+ more controls)

Now, undoubtedly my ineptitude created this situation, but it seems  
that somehow the interface shouldn't allow one to get into such a 
fix... or at least provide an easy way out. If one tries to edit the 
interior group and paste these back into "Base controls" group... all 
data on all cards is lost, even though Base Controls is placed on all 
cards..

Of course one can export all the data, clean up the interface and 
reimport it... but this has happened before... how to get rid of the 
redundant groups and retain all data?  Probably something simple I am 
missing here.
