Does this mean there is in fact a Document, a connected set of Canvases, and for each Canvas an AbstractView and DocumentView? If so - where is the definition of Canvas? 2) This is stating the obvious but AbstractView has no definition besides its relationship to DocumentView (meaning basically, it is a sibling to Document). If AbstractView in fact represents the window object, shouldn't there be a "View" (presumably the implementation of "Abstract"View) and some properties underneath it, such as height and width? -Chris "SoopahMan" Moschini http://hiveminds.info/ http://soopahman.com/
