Hello Andrew,
Another Brit' on the -L... excellent. :-)
You'll find mapinfo-l a lot busier than arvciew-l and esri-l because they are run in
much different
ways. mapinfo-l is much more of a melting pot where many people reply back to the list
so that the
knowledge can be passed on. On the ESRI lists, people ask questions and then, if your
lucky, you
get a SUM: follow-up from the original author. It's much more dynamic and fluid here
and, personally speaking, much more fun!.
You'll soon get used to MapInfo. Maybe 90% of functionality is the same or similar -
just presented
in a different way and with different nomenclature. e.g. MapInfo Pro layer = ArcView
theme. Some
things are easier in one and some things are easier in the other.

It shouldn't be doing that - at least not with a (fairly) low level command to set
this mode. The only
exception to this that I can think of is altering a table structure... and then MI
will ask you if data is
going to be possibly lost or mutated.
Anyway, have fun.
