Hi,

I've seen a lot of examples in Rails code where they're accessing what appe=
ar
to be instance variables from self. Something like

self.foo =3D true

Now, I'm assuming that you can only access methods this way, so this is
actually a method call of

self.foo=3D(true)

Is that right? I'm not always clear on it.

Thanks,
Mike
