Behavior
[Ron Teitelbaum] Exactly!

basicNew
[Ron Teitelbaum] Excellent!
More questions: why isn’t there a command key for debug it?
[Ron Teitelbaum] No clue.
why isn’t my initialize method not running or running without
setting variables?
[Ron Teitelbaum] put a halt in your method and run it. See if the initialize
is being called at all. If it is then check the content of your method for
errors. If not then your initialize method is spelled wrong, is not on the
instance side, or there is a new method implemented in your class or a
superclass that is bypassing the default implementation of #new which is a bad
thing. The system gives you a warning to let you know that!! J
All the best,
Ron
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Joe.
