If you examine the protocol of these classes, you will see that they use an #initialize: with an argument instead.<br>
No extra initialization at all performed by default (it's a deliberate optimization).</blockquote><div><br>Ok...I kind of got the #initialize: n, but I guess I somehow thought that #initialize would be called as well (which doesn't make sense, I know)<br>

Whether or not you should do it is another question...</blockquote><div><br>This is INDEED the question!<br><br>Thank you all. I learned a lot from this little exercise...<br><br>Rob <br></div></div><br>
