...A that I know won't break my initialize method, but that seems inelegant and hard to maintain. Is there a better way to code this so that I can reliably instantiate B using a valid A object? Hopefully I've just got something wrong in the formals for my initialize methods or in my use of getNextMethod(), but I've had no luck trying some alternatives -- and ultimately I'd prefer to better understand the underlying behavior rather than stumble onto something that merely appears to work. I'd be grateful for any suggestions... Thanks, Jim ------------------------------ James Regetz...
