yes, I agree. I usually allocate a number of buffer numebrs in my startup file.

definitely you need to allocate a range first if you are going to 
work with both, server messages and object models. Otherwise the two 
can turn out to be inconsistent. I agree that this is a general 
problem and should be handeled the same in different situations. I 
think it would be good to have some fields in the server options that 
handle this.
