Well, that's not the whole story. Pre-"Property Sheetization", each page had to
know what the next page was supposed to be at all times, sometimes in multiple
places, and call it up. Now, they don't have to know any of that, *unless*, as
you say, the default order of presentation (i.e. the order in which the pages
were added) needs to be changed dynamically.

Have the page return 'false' from an overloaded 'OnActivate()'. That alone
should result in "bypassing" the page. Unfortunately, OnActivate() currently
returns void. I'm doing the necessary surgery as we speak, but kitbashing this
together with current cvs might be a bit brutal, as my different-size-page stuff
is not yet ready for prime-time. I'll get something sensical to you though in a
few (>1,<24) hours.
Didn't know there was a virus-scanner disabling interface that you cold do this
sort of thing with, that's cool. I wonder if the virus writers know about
it....
