Deleting grouped control deletes group

[Jerry Daniels]

Mark, et al.,

1. It turns out that after deleting an object in a group, Rev  
switches to non-editbackground mode and reselects the group.

2. At that point a secondary delete key message is sent and the  
entire group is deleted UNLESS some code intervenes and stops it!

3. I believe that usually, Rev takes care of this potentially  
dangerous secondary deletekey (or backspacekey) message.

4. However, Rev could not block this secondary deletekey with GLX2  
present, so after the object within the group was deleted and the  
group was selected, this secondary delete msg took out the now- 
selected group.

I reworked the GLX2 frontscript so the secondary delete of the group  
can no longer take place.

If you are running GLX2, you need only click its Help menu and  
selected Check for Latest Beta to get the fix for this anomaly.

Best,
