The Adew Reference Manual on page 3 says:

1.2.8	Removing a child object
The Cut button (displaying scissors) can be used to cut the selected
child from an application. Alternately, the Cut menu option on the
Arbcon menu will do the same thing.

WARNING: not all ATK parent objects support this option. As of this
release, only text,lset and page are known to contain the necessary
code. ATTEMPTING TO CUT CELS FROM OTHER OBJECTS MAY RESULT IN CORE
DUMPS! Creators of parent views are advised to observe the child views
they create and react correctly when they are destroyed.

I came across something that I really really want to be able to cut out
in Adew and I can't. The object view combination that I have in mind is
text-panel. I was wondering if someone would be willing to share the
magic that needs to be put into panel (I presume) enable me to cut out a
panel from a lset in Adew without producing a 9Meg coredump.

Thanks.
