The current Amendment 2 RM is still Draft 8 which does not >include this accessor magic. Right. AI05-0139-2 contains the syntax, AI05-0142-4 contains a related feature, and AI05-0212-1 contains the changes needed to the predefined containers for the first two. I'd wait to read those until next week; Tucker is supposed to be providing major updates to AI05-0139-2 and AI05-0142-4 by tomorrow afternoon and I'll be posting them over the weekend before leaving for Vallencia. (AI05-0212-1 is mostly empty still, waiting for the other two to get much closer to completion. We had problems deciding on names of things in the past (even though no one use those names, we still have to have them), but otherwise the basic structure is already known). Also in the next few days, the next AARM draft will be posted. Randy.
