Yeah, but if you're doing any level of *serious* matrix multiplication,
there's no substitute for Fortran: it's a basic feature of the language.
It was probably driven by the data structure more than anything. To upgrade
enabled from one bit to two everywhere would have been non-trivial
(including the now required parent check for the value).

Exactly. This is not a point of reason as much as it is a decision someone made
a long time ago about how to treat certain properties of objects within a group
when the same property of the group was modified. Apparently there is a special

I think this is expected behavior.
If you have a group of three buttons:
1- disable one of them
2- disable the group
3 enable the group
You do get all three buttons enabled. But the thinking is likely along the
lines of: "That guy enabled the group, right? That means enable the group,

My guess... it is because disabled is not an inherited property. All of the
other examples have been properties that are inherited if not explicitly
set. As such a decision was made that setting the enabled property on a
group effects all objects in the group.

As long as this (undocumented?) anomaly exists, might as well put it to
good use - this is a step toward xPath-like functionality for array queries:

--
put PathQuery("this/is/1/path", tA)

function
Does it make it more palatable to think about it the other way around? There
should be no real difference:
You have a group where one button is already enabled, and one already
disabled.
By disabling the group, should the enabled button stay enabled?

If you disable a control in a group, and then enable the group, LC assumes
you want to, er, enable the group, and that means all members of that group.
So as you mentioned, make a gadget that stores the states of all the
members, and resets when the group is

NVM you provide a file path. You may want to check that the folder exists
before writing the pdf. Do you ask the end user where they want to put the file
