You still haven't answered my question ;) What advantage is it to give access to this object. What features does this add to script writers arsenal? What methods/data does it give access to that you need and otherwise would want to be available? > What problems do you see with allowing uniformly named access to the Task > instance given that it could already be reached in a more obtuse way? Tighter coupling makes it more difficult for the ant core to evolve in future. It also adds more complexity than is needed - especially as I don't know what possible advantage allowing such access gives ;) -- Cheers, Pete -------------------------------------------------- Logic: The art of being wrong with confidence... --------------------------------------------------
