In article <9paN7.41146$xS6.69394@www.newsranger.com>, Ted Dennison says...

In the interest of interjecting a rare bit of fact into one of my discussions, I
went back to Deja to look this up. The best I could find was a thread from '99
where Matthew Heaney (*not* Tucker) told me that 'Class'Input comes from 'Input,
and *implied* that it isn't really useful to override 'Class'Input. That's not
particularly helpful to your specific issue though.
