Hi Rod (and MicroWorld People)

A few comments regarding Rod's original posting,  
titled: Infront does not seem to work correctly.

Who am I to criticize this WONDERFUL product called "MICROWORLD PRO" (just started using it about 2 months ago). It seems to me, the Save /Exit/re-Open sequence of Operations should save 
info regarding who's "infront", (and  who's on first, and who's the pitcher ....). The system remembers lots of other stuff, when the user does a Save/Exit/re-Open.  

By studying Rod's posting of "Matching-Andrew-Pace.mw2" I learned a great deal more about the mechanics of this "Matching-Game". (Thanks for the posting).

I learned that each turtle (object) created, sits on a plane infront of the previously created turtle. The order of creation can be seen in the Project Tab Area.  (This applies to Buttons and other types of objects.)

In Rod's project,  if the  "UGA" Shaped Turtles were created after the "Car-&-Etc" Shaped Turtles , they (the "UGA"s) would always sit in front of the little objects, after the Save/Exit/re-Open operation. It seems like the system uses the original order of creation to establish who-sits-in-front-of-who when a project is re-opened. The system ignores any after-creation  who-sits-in-front-of-who positioning at the time of the Save Operation. (Since the system remembers other stuff, couldn't it remember infront info too? Should this be on the XMAS Wish List?) 

I apologize if everyone knew this and I wasted your time, or worse yet .... I got it all wrong!

The following posting from Daniel Ajoy was also very instructive to me.
