I can not get this to behave in the manor that I would like. I am trying to have an object refereed to as CursesApp.Screen become the already initialized object "stdscr". To elaborate I would like it to become that object but to also be able to define additional methods and properties, so more along the lines of inherit from "stdscr". Is this even possible? Well I can make it equal to that object I can not add additional methods and properties to it? Additionally, so that I learn; where has my thinking been too short sited? Thank you for your help. -- Jordan
