    I agree, that why I ask you just to add an 'Of'.
    AddToSubsetOf()?

    A modal window *can't* have a subset - just tested that.
    [ I think that's valuable also for a floating one - did not test that! ]
    And yes, Andrew, I don't see a point one modal window having a subset.

    So, this is a bug... OK, OBOS app_server, won't have that! :-)
