The way I understand it, static variables are 'global' to a class (as
are static methods).
They get created only once (as the class is loaded), instead of
getting a separate copy with each instance.
The primary usage example of one is to have it hold a count of the instances.
& the traditional syntax to access them is class.variableName instead
of instace.variableName

Hi Mark...
Thanks for the answer. I understood most of what you said, and I think
this is giving me the clues I need. I'll post again if I'm stumped.
Very much appreciative (and Tom too),
