Dave, thank you for your response.

I was under the impression that RTF was supposed to assist in moving things
between platforms, not back to the same program. It's nice to know that this
loop-the-loop solution is there (at least the problem can be gotten around),
but the problem solution was specified over a year ago by Apple. WHY HAVE YOU
PEOPLE IGNORED IT?

I mean no disrespect, but if I were in your shoes, I would be embarrassed to
make this "solution" public. Why not just fix the program, especially during
an upgrade cycle?
