If one takes precedence over the other, then indeed there should be no conflict, and that is the very reason why I qualified my specific question with verbiage such as "if" and "there could be" and "might there be", instead of there is going to be. Yet, looking back on it, I can see where you might have taken objection to the sentence, " So which set takes priority generally when they are in conflict?" I assure you that was not intentionally meant to denigrate your work. However, at the same time, I did not find any reference in the excellent documentation that made any sort of specific mention of their being a precedence of one over the other. I would certainly not claim to have failed to overlook it, and if you could point out that specific reference, I would be still more appreciative since I may have overlooked something else of importance along with it.
Nevertheless, I do believe that my question was well put and specifically stated as to my purpose. In fact I did specify exactly where I was talking about on the menus and which dialogues and even so far as to give an example, but if you found it vague in some respect, I would gladly, truly gladly, clarify that point for you. Where exactly was it lacking clarity? Thank you again for your excellent program and support. :) John A.
