Thanks for all the help Scott - I added the "include in playfield" and 
all was well.

I was helping a friend who was trying to make a grid of cells (he is 
trying to do Conway's Life). We tried lots of different (failed) 
approaches before resorting to recursion - at that point we would have 
been happy with anything that worked :-)

If someone has a simpler (or more 'natural') algorithm for "draw a 20x20 
grid of cells", I'd love to see it !


Thanks !
