Jerry,

I never doubted your code for a second.  On the contrary, my question 
was why does the *Rev IDE* do all the extra twists and turns with the 
delete when the engine's native behavior is just fine as it is?


>>> 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!
