I see that now but I guess my underlying questions still remains. What should indicate that the method is part of Kernel and why is it invoked when I call 'File.open'? I apologize if I am asking these questions in the wrong place. I'm just feeling a little lost. If there is a more comprehensive resource that I should read, let me know. I hate to be asking questions that have answers elsewhere, but I've found that most of the documentation I have seen does not answer the questions I have. -Paco -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
