That's less often than I expected FmtPageName() to be used to get the 
group name. Guess the frequent place where I've been using it is in 
config.php rather than scripts then. (Unfortunately we can't just grep 
everbodys configs:-)

Anyway, the reason I asked for a grep was really more to see what *other* 
ways people use FmtPageName, i.e. if there's something that's very common 
to use FmtPageName to extract - such as $FullName.

Either way, I'd be happy with having Group() as a quick'n'easy way of 
getting the group name.

PS. The OO-advocates might like $pagename bo be a class object with a
method for returning the group :-)
