I couldn't try it, because my system is at home ;) I will give it a try later (and will also change to use the underscore ivar names too - I had done that previously, but...well, didn't this time.) Funny how you think you got the concepts all sorted out, and I get it, really, but when actually typing some code, it all gets confusing ;) Thanks! _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
