>Tom Rettig's envlib.prg does this in .init() - saves the current value to this.oldval, and sets the date (or any other setting, there's a subclass for each) to whatever is passed as parameter to init. Pretty much the same idea, but saves you one line when calling - and that's 50% of the lines you need to write :).

Now the question is, do it in Load() (as Naomi) or in Init() (as Tom Rettig). And, if you know, is envlib.prg available anywhere for download?
Thank you.
