I think I ran into this a couple of years back but don't remember what the workaround is.
In some cases,, "the last group" does not return a reference to the last group created. I'm not sure of all the circumstances that cause this but here's my situation. My script creates several groups, let's call them grp1, grp2,grp3, and after creating them, uses a group command to group all those groups into one outer group. After the group command, I "set the name of the last group to "grpA". The group that gets renamed is not the outer group but grp3. The group command, unlike just about any other command that creates an object does not return an ID in "it" so I have to use "the last group" construct, as recommended in the dictionary actually. I guess I will have to search through the groups and find the one with the highest ID to identify the outer group but before I do that, any ideas about how else to do this?
