Thanks Bruce.

Just one more question: releasing a variable that doesn't doesn't exist
doesn't produce an error, but attempting to release an object that
doesn't exist produces an error.

I guess taht for objects I need to do something like

if type("oRef") # "U"
    release oRef
endif

Would that work?

Cheers,
Gaetano.
