Hrm... ok, I'm a bit confused, probably because I'm thinking in terms of Parrot. In Parrot, an object PMC is not a reference, it's of some object type and contains fields directly in the PMC for any member data. There's also a vtable which tells you everything you need to know about its methods. So you're saying that P6 will only manipulate Parrot-level object PMCs via references? If so, sorry, I just didn't realize that. -- Aaron Sherman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Senior Systems Engineer and Toolsmith "It's the sound of a satellite saying, 'get me down!'" -Shriekback
