You'll get a kick out of this. When I first read your response, I thought that I can't stop here because there is more that I want to accomplish. What I think that you really meant was that I should stop here WITH THAT CLASS and do other things with other classes (and I need to instantiate them). When Jan said that I hadn't fully grasped the concept of object orientation, she wasn't just whistling Dixie. I actually think that I sort of get it now. (At least that will be the case until the next big revelation.) I know that my understanding has been expanded greatly. This dialog has been extremely enlightening for me. I need to go play with some code now. I have a whole new prospective. Thanks so much to all who contributed. ... doug -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
