Carl,
        Good idea.  The mod below for the pemmixin.setALL method this seems
to work....

        if ok:
                if filt:
                        try:
                                ok = eval("kid.%s" % filt)
                        except:
                                ok = False
                                                
Note: For a complex filter you have to explicitly use kid.property for the
second and subsequent clauses...

For example, if you have a filter set to...

filt = "property1 == val1 and property2 == val2 and property3 == val3"

It gets evaluated as "kid.property1 == val2 and property2== val2 and
property3 == val3" 

so to get it to work we would have to put...

filt = "property1 == val1 and kid.property2 == val2 and kid.property3 ==
val3"

Not that it matters, but this code can be sped up by replacing the if
hasattr( 
with a try catch pattern.  I'm too tangled up in my current project to
adjust it.

it is probably what it says  "RAClasses.RATextBox is not defined"
cut/paste the stack dump showing the error.
