The "create group" command does return the id of the new group in "it" but the group command doesn't.
I'm reminded of a thread I kicked off a few months ago concerning the fact that "last group" doesn't always return the group created with a group command. The dictionary recommends using "last group" after a group command to get the group id but that never worked reliably for me. I believe that thread also resulted in someone entering a feature request for standardising the use of "it" Pete Molly's Revenge <http://www.mollysrevenge.com> On Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 9:29 AM, J.
