well I never read the doc so thoroughly, as every one else does ;-)
but I've a very good autocompletion editor, and that shows even 3 
versions of hide !

Ok, that also works fine in mine situation.

I already uninstalled VPython-5 (btw where is version 4, I thought the 
latest version was 3.2.11  ?) ,
because without the correct mouse picking it's worthless in mine 
application.
I'm not able to shrink my program (which is rather large, about 500 lines),
so I'll first finish my program, then I'll try VP5 again and will send 
you the minimalistic program.

cheers,
