Ed,
I thought you might like the little present I have for you and your son as
well as the other Dabo developers. You can view a rough JPG (sorry about the

I think it had more to do with whether you compiled with a computer that had
a cd rom drive. There is a program called fixdrive or something like that.
You can run it against an exe and it will remove the d: drive or whatever
drive letter you pass it.

I knew about Ed's text search and tried it without success. Did not know
about Code References but no success there either.
The problem I have is that I often rename a class when placing it on a form.
For example, if my class is "ge_grd2chk" and I name it "grd" it does not
show in Code Reference
