undo insertion into group

[Dennis Brown]

Thanks Eric.  I appreciate your comments, though perhaps I should  
have actually stated what problem I was solving.

I put everything on separate statements because I actually have more  
complex requirements in my real application and I wanted it simple to  
understand, modify and debug --and speed is not important for this  
section.

I have a group with a lot of user input fields and buttons.  Some  
fields and buttons that I know by name I want to exclude from my  
lists, i.e., field "label field" are just labels that I do not want  
to include.  Other fields and buttons that I do not know by name or  
quantity need to be separated into different lists so that they can  
be processed differently.  What I am actually doing is just saving  
and restoring the content or hilite of each input control to/from  
custom properties in that control that are selected by a combo  
button.  The user can add more items and decide the name of the item  
in the combo button menu and they stay in sorted order.  This is kind  
of like having a background group on several cards, but I want it all  
on only one card.  I also have groups of these groups that I change  
the configuration many times.  Every time the user changes the input,  
I also save the value in the custom property for the current menu  
selection.  I works very nice.
