I don't think you should be surprised (though it was an aha moment when I

Not sure why you'd want to lock something down so tight even you couldn't move

Hi Richmond,
I hate to have to say it, but your sister is probably correct.
I think the rather raw naked brain at the very bottom almost
made me loose my breakfast, which is then something a
dog might consider for dinner. Blah!
The second example is a much cleaner, and organized start.
Mark, Richard.
It is mainly academic for me. It came up when I tried to set the loc of an
object in a certain stack from a utility stack I use, without specifying the
pathname of that object. A similar object in the utility stack moved
instead.
I was just playing around, set the lockLocation

Read the data as binary. Use the BOM to detect UTF8/UTF16/UTF32 and

This may or may not be a bug. When I drag from one column of data in a datagrid
