Jim,

I'm sorry that I used a term, "prototype", that was new to you . . . it has 
just always seemed more accurate than a "definition" because, if you do 
nothing to expand it, it gets vaporized when you save the file.  Also, is a 
procedure/function declaration is necessarily confined to occurring within 
a class or type declaration?  I was intending to convey precisely that the 
declaration was occurring within the type/class declaration.  (On the other 
hand, I notice you seem to have no complaints with the other gentleman's 
terminology not necessarily conforming to "accepted terminology".  Oh, well.)

By the way, did you ever understand what I was saying or did the new 
terminology confuse you too much?
