This is what I "deduced" from Norman Cohens book also :-) It is just that it looks as if I want to initialise the new object with the values from the parameter one. As you may notice I have the parameter as "out" mode. This prototyping gives me the impression that someting is sent in to the subprogram still (tag perhaps?). Is it a problem for me to use only "out" in this parameter or should I use "in out"? Frank
