You can't. Ah, we're running in that terminology issue again: for me Class is a (or rather "the") metaclass (because it is the class of a class) but it seems you and probably James as well mean what I am used to call "singleton class". So then, yes, those cannot be instantiated. Cheers robert -- use.inject do |as, often| as.you_can - without end
