Also, I notice there's a class called Resizeable and several with properties that are reserved words--like dbf for example. These haven't caused problems yet but should probably be changed.

Hi Lynda,

I'm glad you resolved the problem. Using reserved words as a properties isn't a good idea but usually it doesn't cause a problem unless reserved word is a PEM.
