Okay ... so, I take it the stripe objects are the reason for the
"parent" argument to cl_page_find0()?  I will confess that was always
a puzzler.

If anyone at Oracle could dig up that text document about CLIO that Nikita
is referring to, that sure would be helpful!  Although the presentation that
Alexey referrs to certainly is useful.

Thanks for everyone's help!  This has certainly been useful.
