What???
Well I really dont want to question Kerrys knowledge here but i get really confused by
this.
Correct me if i�m wrong but:
* The # sign indicates the "symbol" data type
* The use of the # in "call #myHandler" would then be equal to using a symbol to acces
a handler name in an object of any kind.
* A property is a property is a property regardless if it�s in a list or a behavior
and does not use the # sign to define itself. The use of symbols as properties in a
property list is optional, but recommended.
* A property variable can�t contain anything else than a property.
These are, to my knowledge, all low level definitions in lingo and if I have
misunderstood it all please enlighten me.
