Possibly, but since I'm making about 37 cents an hour on this project
now (and it may be closer to a nickel by the time I'm finished with
it), I really can't afford more time to look. My personal opinion
is there is a bug somewhere. But in the meantime, I've turned the
damn study into a structure, saved and restored the structure, and
all is well with the world again. Did I mention I love objects. :-(

Well, I use messages too, but those are even more magical than
objects and I find it *really* hard to keep track of who, when,
and where when I use them. Might as well go back to prayer for
all the difficulty I have understanding what's going on.
