Neat... for a while I was playing with the project object- I actually have a couple of things using it regularly, but didn't need to touch that code for years, which is why I forgot you can use it for this. That's about the time I discovered the hook class always get compiled with the project, can't keep it outside. And mine was in a general purpose library which I explicitly did not want included in the project. So I decided the project hooks are more trouble than they're worth - and you've just added one more bullet to my ammo against it.
