Humm, yes. The idea has been lurking in the back of my mind
(where I have tried to suppress it) that I was going to have
to deal with this sooner or later. I've *known* I was going
to have trouble saving and restoring widgetObjects. But
the data objects were a surprise to me.

Your suggestions are wonderful, but I wonder if a simple
COPY method at the CATADATATOM level (which all data
objects inherit) just to copy data fields--all object
fields would be ignored-- wouldn't work as well. This is
easily over-ridden in more complicated cases.

I greatly appreciate the thoughts. Do you want to come
up here and take over my business while I'm rowing in the
Beaufort Sea? Get it all finished for me. How's your backhand?

Cheers,

David
