Avi,
Thanks for the explanation. When I said my code was ending up their I
meant code that is part of one of my Montecello-managed projects so it
isn't a bug. Sorry for the confusion.
I use MC to move the code between work and home so, based on your
explanation, when I merge my work code into my home image, the changed
methods end up in an MC change set. Since I don't use change set's
much for code management I guess that's OK...I'm not trying to sound
ungrateful, mind you ;-) The dual change sorter looks very helpful,
thanks for the tip.
