Get the members of a group

[Bob Sneidar]

You delete grc 1 in the first iteration. Now grc 2 BECOMES grc 1, but the next iteration deletes grc 2! You are deleting every other grc this way. You have to start at the end and work your way backward. Think of it as taking a cracker off the bottom of the stack. Cracker 2 now becomes cracker 1. 

Another way is to repeat for count instead of repeat with i = 1 to count and then delete graphic 1, not I, in your count up loop.
