[#1]

Can someone provide an example or link on how to create a propertyalteration in a query using C# or VB?

I have found the ObjectARX example >>here<< but my C skills are very limited.  If someone could tell me how to add that to >>this<< I will be forever in your debt. 

I am to the point where I can query text objects from a layer, but I need to know how to put them on to a different layer ("TEST" for example).

I should have waited.  I found the answer in the Map SDK examples in SessionSampleCommand.cs.
