Easy too. Hmmm... I see an opportunity to be contentious here. I used to really miss "via" as well, but with the message passing hierarchy and the rule of "write once use many", placing functions and handlers higher up the chain is far more logical. This is essentially what "insert" is doing, so why not just move the function and be done? Not a bug or missing feature but a nudge to implementing good writing style. 2c /H _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
