Thank you all. Being a Java developer (therefore familiar with inheritance) I was going to ask whether it was really IO.open being used but thought I would read a little more in case I was missing something. Thanks for all the reading suggestions too. I'll probably pick up one or two to read over the Christmas break. Pickaxe II sounds like a popular choice. I'm a little disappointed in the API documentation (what is that entry for File that doesn't even show it has a Parent?) but I'll give fastri a shot. Thanks again for all the help. -Paco -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
