Bob,

Yeah, it's a lot of code, but most of it's definitions, so it doesn't really
'count'. I have a procedure that is remarkably similar... :-)

Although, unless Aaron's missed off something from the code (or I've just
missed something), the call to QUSROBJD will fail anyway because the error
structure hasn't been allocated. And the error.bytesProvided should be set
to %size(error) before the call...

Rory

p.s. I've also used rslvsp(), but it's not 'significantly' quicker,
especially since you're typically not doing this (checking if an object
exists) very often.
