Hi Mike, Thanks for the help. But that didnt quite answer my question. I know that by setting the appropiate capability bits we can delete/add BranchGroups at runtime. I had problems with the memory deallocation. I read through the archives and the suggestion was to "getAllChildren" and assign them to NULL, thus invoking the GC. This approcah is not possible to implement in my system architecture.
Hope somebody from this group can guide me.
