missing field in aplication browser

[Peter Haworth]

Unfortunately, I don;t have an answer for this problem but wondering  
if anyone can help with general group maintenance question.

Grouping and ungrouping objects by selecting them on a card works  
great in simple situations but when you have multiple levels of nested  
groups or hidden fields or even hidden groups (as recommended for tab  
controls for example), it can be a nightmare to add or delete an  
object.  I'm wondering if I'm missing something and perhaps there's  
another way to add an object to a field without ungrouping  and  
regrouping?  What would be great is  a drag/drop mechanism in the App  
Browser for example, or maybe a popup menu to select a group you want  
an object to be added to or removed from.

Mention of the new property for groups also reminds me to ask if there  
is a single place where all the changes that have been made in a Rev  
release are documented?  I haven't managed to find anything like that  
for 4.0 and seems like that's kinda basic doc for a new release.
