always hesitant, though, to rely on "me"  [and finding "me" in the
dictionary is an adventure in itself . . .  {now *Bug 20289*
<http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20289> - "me" is nearly
impossible to find in dictionary }]

if I have the structure

  rawRow
    someGroup
        anotherGroup
           myControl

and define in rawRow (actually, in it's behavior)

on getProp uDna

return the uDna of me

end getProp



will this do what I mean?

Seems nice, clean, elegant and fast . . . and doesn't involve a bunch of
redundant setting . . .
