I should have thought about Thread being a predefined class. I thought it highlighted like that because it was a constant (what with the capital T I gave it). Underbars are hard to keep in my head, I think in interCaps. And the code Florian posted for the object to know it's index in an array... I think that's probably too difficult for me at this point. I'm still bumping around the first project I figured I could use Ruby on. Pickaxe is on my list for today's trip to the bookstore, and I'll poke around in the first edition a little more. Chris Pine's guide is awesome, I just wish he'd write part 2 through 10. --Colin
