So, if I'm creating new parameters, I'll name them 'a', 'b', 'c'... if I want them to appear at the top of the stack. I'll name them '0', '1', '2'... if I want them to appear at the bottom of the stack. I then of course rename them afterward. Same deal with Hopkin's trick '*'.<br /><br />But, man, being able to re-order parameters on the fly (as well as hide them) is one of my top wishes.iru69noreply@blogger.com
