We show that if Y is a metric minimal flow and θ: Y→Z in an open homomorphism that has a section (i.e., a RIM), and if S(θ)= R(θ),then °YΩ contains a dense set of transitive points, where Ω is the first uncountable ordinal

YΩ = П{Y:1 ≦ α < Ω and α not a limit ordinal}, and

°YΩ = {y ∈ YΩ:θ(yα)= θ(yβ)for 1 ≦ α,β < Ω and α, β not limit ordinals},

S(θ) is the relativized equicontinuous structure relation, and

R(θ)= {(y1,y2) ∈ Y X Y:θ(y1) = θ(y2)}.

We use this to generalize a result of Glasner that a metric minimal flow whose enveloping semigroup contains finitely many minimal ideals is PI, [5].

I would like to thank Professor T. S. Wu for making helpful suggestions, and thank the referee for his time and effort.
