Technology? History is a more appropriate term.

That would not work for abstract objects that don't exist in the file
system.

Depends on the flag. For example, if an object has the WPS NODELETE flag
set, you might be able to delete the object from outside the WPS but not
with the drives folder.
It's sort of unrealistic to expect the WPS to know what you did when it
was not running. Whether or not your actions are going to upset the WPS
depends on a lot of factors. File system changes are usually not much of
an issue. The WPS tries best it can to cope with these because it was
easy for the designers to forsee the need for this.

Hmmm. Have to check the help?

Are you sure you used the WPS->Selected Object Settings menu item?
Typically, once you have the window open all you need to do is drop the
single object of interest on to the window. Makes selecting the object of
interest simple.

I take it ppw is ppwizard. If you can't drag the ppw.2 folder to the
Selected Object Properties window, drag the ppw.src folder.
