Hi all,
Thanks to Bob Byers and Marc Feldesman for their help on getting the
Object Explorer to list all of my objects. Marc's solution involved
creating new folders and re-filtering objects. I've done that to
reorganize things. Bob's solution seems more automatic (obtained
from StatSci):

------

Start Splus 2000. Before opening the Object Explorer, open the command
window and enter make.DB.summary(1).  The OE relies on a object that
summarizes the contents of each database.  Sometimes it needs to be
refreshed "manually". Now open your Object Explorer file via
'File' | 'Open' menu.

------

Interestingly enough, what seemed to actually work for me was to dump
all of my objects using data.dump(), and then restore them using
data.restore()!

Now here's another S+ 2000 problem. Suddenly, every graph I create
puts in a red background. I seem to vaguely recall other posts about
problems of this type, but this never happened to me with S+ 4.x, so
I didn't pay attention. Help?

             Thanks,

             Jeff Simonoff

p.s. So far not too thrilled with the upgrade from S+ 4.5 to 2000 ...
