Thanks. You're correct, and that's exactly what I've been doing as a
workaround. It's less convenient than having it "just work," because
often at the point where I am in the code when I run across this
(which is usually more complicated than the simple example I provided)
it requires me opening up other units and searching for the record
definitions so I can remember what types the members are.
