=========================================

Yes.., I did.  Unlike SO, OO closes the whole prgram, rather than just the
specific file.  Although, come to think of it, I haven't tried to see what
happens if I open and edit a second document and then close that, if it
ends up closing the whole program????!!!!?  I'll try it at work on Monday
(I run SO 6.0 beta here at home).
