Because your code was still calling +newDict, just not on the class you wanted. I got a little confused by your code. Realise where I said -class up above, that should actually be +class. As others have pointed out [super newDict] might well be what you want also/instead. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
