My problems were more along the lines of not realizing that an internal subrequest was happening, which (if memory serves) would end up clearing pnotes (or maybe my code was clearing/resetting pnotes when re-traversed for the subrequest). This was years ago, so maybe pnotes is better behaved these days, but I've still tended to avoid that feature of MP1. -John
