Now the pressure's on me to recall where the code example was! I will try to relocate the specific example I encountered. I'm glad to see the concern for keeping the Help documentation up to date. Also good to know that documentation errors are treated as bugs. Those are the kind of bugs that even a Factor beginner can help to stomp out! --John P.S.
