SetWeight question

[Rick O'Gorman]

One other thing that is not causing your problem but did afflict me is 
that if you have a list with weights set to 0, and that list calls 
procedure(s) which in turn call a list, beware! If you sue a script to 
set the weights in the higher level list to 1, and also to set the 
weights in the lower level list, it will only change the weights in the 
higher level list. The weights in the lower level list(s) will not be 
accessed by script if the higher level list's weights are initially 0.

Lost several hours trying to track that problem down...(I am currently 
using 2.0.1 so its possible this is a bug which has been fixed, anyone 
know?)
