A singleton is a generally an object of which there is only one instance throughout the entire application. That means that accessed from anywhere in the program it will return the same list, in effect it is only instantiated once. That instance is then returned any time a new list is called for. So any elements added to the list are available thought the application. Basically a Singleton is a single instance of an object, ie there can never be more then one instance singleton object in an application. > List_Type can be modified > after having been instantiated. Yes but that is not what i was saying ;) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Find a job, post your resume. http://careers.yahoo.com
