Charley,

That's not a reliable method, because ~>instRefs will depend upon how many
instances of the edited cell you have open. If you have more than one, it will
not work.

geGetInstHierPath() is the function you want. This returns information about how
you descended down from the top. There's information about the mosaic entry and
iterated instance in the result, but that won't affect the orientation of the
instance, so the following should do the job:

caar(geGetInstHierPath(hiGetCurrentWindow()))~>orient

Regards,

Andrew.
