Jonathan,
I just saw your message today and wanted to let you know that you can
build your own create handlers. I have done it in a number of places,
particularly where I did not like what Spectra was doing automatically.
So you could set the ATTR_ACTIVE=1 when you create the object.
Good luck,
Beau
