Yes....a big "DUH!" on my part...thank you Jeanne...for some reason, in the
previous post when I read "go", my mind registered "start using"....

Ugh....*that's* what I was afraid of....thanks Troy....one last Q...your
statement:

"...tell it EXACTLY what 'this' is..."

By that do you mean that you set the defaultStack at the top of every
handler?  Were you having the problem of referring to an object like:

field AA   instead of...

field AA of stack XX

where the former would at times error out with "Object: No such object"??

P.S. (as well as OT) Since I (obviously) don't have the "get every post into
my email" option turned on for the use list...is there any way I can respond
to a post without creating a "new" thread?  ...sorry that my responses have
been creating new threads....
