From: hubert@... (Hubert Hung-Hsien Chang) Date: 2002-03-17T07:38:16+09:00 Subject: Could we subclass this way? Here is a question: Suppose I have a class called "Monster" with a instance variable (@tricks) and two subclasses called "Little_vampire" "Little_ghost" but I would like to name each of the subclass's @tricks differently. I would like to have @vampire_tricks, @ghost_tricks respectively. But I wuld still like to use the Monster's methods. And both @vampire_tricks and @ghost_tricks will refect the value of @tricks from "Monster" I haven't successfully done it easily. Any way out? Thanks. Hubert
