I'm in two minds about one thing, though: should it still be possible to turn on the readonly flag for a special? The problem is that once on, you can't turn it off. That may be still be useful, though. Or we can introduce a flag PM_SPECIALREADONLY which has the same effect as PM_READONLY but can't be reset (and we complain if the user tries to change PM_READONLY if that's set). -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Unit 300, Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0XL, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 392070 ********************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
