R help - May 2005 - question regarding new class

Hi R people:

I have created a new class for a project that I am working on.  It works 
fine.

Just one question, please:  When I access the slots, is there any way that I 
could use
x$Name instead on x at Name, please?  Or is it that way by design, please?

Thanks.

This is by design, x is not a list but of class ....

Insetad, you can use slot(), of course or define special exttractor 
functions fo your particular class.
