>Thanks. I see they're all linked through the 6-digit i.d.'s.

Actually, no. They are linked by standard Object Id's. The WPS authors
were inconsistent and sometimes stores the Id in hex and other times in
decimal. Convert one to hex and it will be a 5 digit hex value. The
first digit will be a 2 which means it's an abstract object. The lower 4
digits are the object Id. The checksums are object it's too. They are
type 3's that identify the persistant objects (i.e. files) that have
associations assigned.

Recall what I said about using Henk's Association editor. :-)

I'll have to think about this one. I've got some ideas what could cause
this, but I need to verify them.

Use v2.1. I just grabbed the most recent one that Hobbes listed.

We'll get there soon.
