Richard,

You may have not doubted my code, but I did! Rev was not the culprit  
here, it was my code that triggered an untimely exit from the  
editBackground state which in turned triggered the reselection and  
delete of the group.

In any case: problem diagnosed, fixed, tested and ready for users to  
download via GLX2 Help menu.

Thanks to Mark Swindell and others for their report and for Sarah for  
her help with the code and alerting me to the anomaly in the first  
place. I was busy doing project work when Sarah let me know we had a  
"bogey" comin' in at 2 o'clock.

Best,

Jerry Daniels
