I watched the ascii art image in the ruby core doc for "Class" The reason I got confused was because its pretty much the inverse of how other languages works.. in other language implementations there are only static methods and no real instance methods (they just pass a "this" pointer to a static method) and here in ruby there are only instance methods and no real static methods so it makes sense that the instance methods and singleton methods live in different contexts here. //Roger -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
