It obviously helps if you know they are there, but if you know the commonly used classes and know how to find information when you hit a "how do I..." question you will be fine. Inheritance and interfaces help immensely, because many classes have common interfaces so you only really need to learn them if you need their particular specialization. -- Andrew Rowley Black Hill Software ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
