PNV 4.1C, Digital UNIX 4.0A.

I'm creating duplicate symbols based on existing objects using 
OVwCreateComponentSymbol.

I get three different results, depending on what I use for statusSource (initial 
status is ovwNormalStatus in each case):

ovwObjectStatusSource: symbols appear blue and stay blue

ovwCompoundStatusSource: symbols are created with the correct colour, and change 
colours correctly.

ovwSymbolStatusSource: symbols appear green and stay green

Trouble is, this is in direct contradiction to .0. There must be an explanation 
for it, but what is it?

Looking at symbols that are already there, they have ovwSymbolStatusSource. Why 
the difference in functionality?

When I do a cut/paste, the resulting symbol is ovwCompoundStatusSource, and does 
the right thing with respect to colour changes. This matches with my code above, 
but contradicts the question in .0. Has PNV changed since .0 was written?
