Good catch; I've checked in a fix for that wording. There is a similar (or may be worse) problem in 7.1.2.4.: Should that paragraph then read: "... If a node is skiped by the active whatToShow flags, a Filter will not be called to evaluate that node. ..."? The problem here is, that the children of that node would be evaluated even if the Filter would have rejected the node, if it had been called. Since rejecting, which is a possible result in using a filter, is something stronger than skipping it seems to me more natural to apply a Filter before applying whatToShow flags. -- ===================================================================== Dieter Koehler, M.
