Although you do have to put the current class name in the method calls, as super() requires it as the first argument. I never understood that. Why would I wish to use super(Bar) if I'm in class Foo? Cannot Foo be implied here? Mike -- Michael P. Soulier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...
