Doubt it. Could it be something to do with how Director remembers symbols? Try this: clearglobals put #aSymbol -- #aSymbol clearglobals put #asymbol -- #aSymbol Notice how it capitalized the S? That's because Director keeps a note of symbols that are used, and their case too, and will use the first version you mentioned. Perhaps the symbols in your property list are being remembered. -- [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
