    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.
