jaja I�ll foward him your words... He�ll be glad! Hhmm.. I�m remembering
an old thread... I think Terry Schussler was described in similar way
the day of his birthday.

Well??? I was close then! I believed the book joke because I read his
posts and he certainly knos a loooot of Lingo. It wasn�t hard to believe
for me that he has wrote a book. Probably he will do it soon if I keep
on insisting on it :)

Got it! ;)

I did almost the same analogy here for a student but using "empenadas"
instead of pizzas (they�re some kinda small meat pie tipically
argentinian). The new(script"... was the phone call to ask the meat pie,
the kitchen was the parent script, the food ready was the return me and
some handler in the parent was the delivery who brings the food to my
home. Like it? ;) It was a little bit more complicated than that
anyway... I think we both were hungry!! Oh, I forgot... there was also
an ancestor who made the common components (the ones which all types of
pie use) for the kitchen.

We would have to explain that with french food :)

It was herd to me to begin with OOP without a sinlge good example. I

That example never helped me. I began to understand OOP reading Irv�s
e-book and analyzing Tom�s Island.
One good practical example is the bee (Friend�s of Ed. Director 8.5 Studio).
