FWIW: i decided to try this because i was unable to (hope i'm using
the proper terms here) derive a new object from the existing one and
override this one inherited routine with my modifications... this
would allow me to add my own variables to the object in addition to
what it comes with and allow me to have this routine as i need it...
but that didn't work for some reason and i've already ripped out all
that attempt and gone this route with my modified routine and direct
addition of the variable... i just want to be able to provide
something back with as little intrusion to the original as possible...
Overriding the behavior of an inherited function will only work if that
function is a) at least "protected" (or you are in the same unit) and b)
this function is declared as "virtual" (see also:
