Well this is exactly the approach I'm using. Just that I was slightly
surprised I couldn't control it with [next] by giving those
object parameters to it as I would when creating an ob. It's OK now that I
know that I can't do it. I can do it with other approaches quite easily
in my code. I just wanted to be sure it's not something that's intended
to work.

Btw. any ideas when 8.4 will be out? The bug with the destruction of
objects and error handling is causing some small headaches in the
debugging phase of code here. I really hate to pressure you like this, but
I need to be able to look forward to a bright future when I get into that
situation, so I can say "Oh, it'll be alright soon" when I stumble across
that situation. No panics though.
