Subject: FXRuby - FXMainWindow question

I think that my problem is that I've got 2 classes that are both
subclassed from FXMainWindow, which I believe won't work.

Here's a short description of my data entry application and what I'm
trying to do.  When my application is launched, the 1st FXMainWindow
class shows all of the data entries in my MySQL database.

The user can either double click on one of the FXTable cells or use
Ctrl-N to launch the 2nd FXMainWindow class, which is where the data
is shown so entry/update can be done.

My classes are launched the "standard" way:

<code snippet>

if __FILE__ == $0
  FXApp.new("Table", "FXRuby") do |app|
    Table.new(app)
    app.create
    app.run
  end
end


<code snippet>

def create
    super
    show(PLACEMENT_SCREEN)
end


The error I'm getting when a cell in the table  in the 1st
FXMainWindow class is clicked is undefined method `show' because the
method I'm calling  in the 2nd  FXMainWindow class is a clone of the
above create method.

What would be the best way to change the application to make it work?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

TIA
