(There was also some internal discussion around the same time, which I of course cannot quote here.) Right. For cases where both are present, the text controls. But when it's just there alone, there is no ambiguity. It would certainly help with the slightly different wording issue if we did this more often. I may do it to all my code in the tree. I'm careful about this stuff, and i have at least three variations in the tree for no good reason... Warner
