ok. my memory of having read about it must have been from the tutorial rather than the function documentation. Notwithstanding that InheritScope is discussed in the tutorial, and a useful example given, shouldn't it also appear in the main function documentation page, i.e. be listed in More information and the example given in the tutorial appear in the Usage examples? re: DynamicModuleParent if users can't access this construct then why discuss it in the tutorial? I find InheritScope easy to use but the mere discussion of DynamicModuleParent in the tutorial only prompts user curiosity about what other possibilities exist.
