How Can I Change The Ids of Grouped Controls?

[Rob Cozens]

Hi All,

I'm working on a new update of Serendipity Library, which includes a 
group of controls for capture & display of dates.

I realized that, since the group is designed to be pasted in 
Developers' stacks, the id of every control in the group (as well as 
the Id of the group itself) must fall within the range of icon Ids 
assigned to Serendipity Software by MetaCard Corp. to ensure against 
conflict with the Ids of Developers' controls.

I cannot seem to find a way to open the properties palettes of the 
group or its controls in a manner that allows me to change Ids.  I 
have tried while editing  and not editing the group: the Id field is 
always protected.  I tried "set the Id of group [groupName] to" and 
"set the Id of field [fieldName] to", and only got execution errors.

Can anyone give me a clue how I can change the Ids?  I thought about 
ungrouping the controls, changing their Ids, and regrouping them; 
however I have not tried it, as it still leaves me needing to change 
the Id of the group itself.

Ideas anyone?
