All these platform save as ASCII and as long as you don't go nuts, you can modify the ASCII files and the "IDE" accepts your changes. They don't have problems with "hierarchies" either.

Ahhh... Got it. That makes sense.

Creating a "non-visual" VCX class is pointless, IMO; particularly when it means giving up (simple) global text searching, replacing, browsing, etc.

Ehrrr... Two-way programming... <g> I think after a long day fighting DNS stuff I came up for air a little too late. < BG >
