Dennis, Sorry I'm jumping in a little late, but I have been slaving for myself all day (hate when that happens!).
I think some perspective on how we have arrived at ver 7.6 might be helpful. Even though you might find issues that seem a little quirky or illogical at the moment, you should know that most everything about RBase 7.6 / 8.0, is the result of input from your peer group. You have been here long enough to know that the way things are displayed or dialoged, is through discussion in this forum usually, but not always, arriving at consensus on subject matter, and just like Magic, within days (and sometimes hours), how and what was described appears in the product. Admittedly, sometimes it seems to be at odds with how everyone else does it, but by and large, most things are as expected. But the big picture is we have (collectively) advanced the product to a state that still elicits "oohs" and "aahs" from long time developers that thought the product was awful damn good at the 7.5 stage. And to add further to that, I will bet that as long as Razzak remains above ground, you can expect the product to continue to improve so long as the faithful pursue it towards perfection. There isn't anything you are going to go through in the conversion process that the dozens of able and selfless people here like Dawn, Bill, Emmitt, Claudine, Javier, Adrian, Gunnar, Steve, James, Larry, and many more, have not already done before. Their individual experiences through trials by fire are at the ready to help you any time you need it in the very same way you would do for anyone else.
