Thank you!
You are correct - changing it from folder made this act in the way I 
wanted. I clicked the subtasks and the header task reset automatically.
I'm not sure why I didn't try that on my own - I think I just got used to 
using the folder option for all my header lines.

Still think it should work the same way even if it is set to "folder" but 
this gets me down the road. 

I really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Jean
