Thanks, Michael.

Obviously, I didn't look at my structure very carefully.  Thanks for
prodding me in the right direction.  Just in case your interested in
this trivial function, here's what I wound up with:

def getTypeOf(o)
        aTypes = [Array, String, Numeric, Fixnum, Struct, MatchData]
        result = Object.to_s
        i = 0
        for t in aTypes
            i += 1
            if o.is_a?t then 
                result=t.to_s
                break
            end
        end
        result
end

Richard
