Yeah, that would explain the asymmetry of the input side from the output
side (which is
really all I'd hope for). Perhaps one day it will all make sense and
I'll see that it is all for the

enough of a challenge.
Bart, any thoughts on those errors in the debugging binary? 'TRAPDEBUG'
works perfectly
in the normal build. Interesting how some of the pop out when doing a
completion.
