Hello Dave,

	Yes, that function does indeed work fine. Instead of saying "built- 
in", I should have said "shouldn't that feature of objectinfo( be  
included in the Programming Reference Wizard", under the onjectinfo 
( listing. That is where I looked for a function to access the called  
procedure of a button.

	Most of us do not have the expertise and in-depth knowledge of some  
of the real experts on this forum (Gary, Jim, yourself, et al.), and  
for sure we would be unlikely to know about the back-door methods  
described on page 1817 of the handbook. Panorama is so powerful and  
has so many features, that for the semi-occasional user, it would be  
almost impossible to remember all of the functions available. The  
Programming Reference Wizard gives us a chance to look up the correct  
function name, even if a little trial and error and searching is  
involved. Finding the back-door reference in the handbook, unless you  
already know it's there, would be almost impossible for the typical  
user. Maybe the Wizard should just reference the Handbook, and say  
"More functions are available than those listed here".

	Thank goodness for this forum, and the helpful advice always provided.

	Best regards,
	Vic DiFranco
