Since the PFI_IFLAG_SKIP is set on a kif it should be possible to inherit the flag from a group when an interface is created. This would have no impact on runtime execution time. I would really like to have set skip pick up interfaces at runtime because I get constantly burned by it. -- :wq Claudio
