I'm considering using a protected object to store an AVL tree and also to
write and read files,
normally I would have used tasks for this, but I wish to experiment
slightly.

J Barnes recommends that  protected objects be as small as possible, so
being a little
bloody minded I want to see what the limits are for protected objects ,
I would be very interested to see unusual protected objects people have
created, which
do things protected objects were not designed for (is this an oxymoron?).
