The concept of "hide" versus "close" is a holdover from old versions of Lightspeed Pascal, when the initial incremental compilation took a long time, and loading a source file was a lot slower. For 2.0, it was decided to generalize the concept and add this to code that was being newly written, rather than muck around in extremely old code (and risk breaking it). All this mishegoss will probably go away in the future. --Rich Rich Siegel Staff Software Developer THINK Technologies Division, Symantec Corp.
