I guess it was the "AndCode" part I didn't get.  I'm filing out the
object, not the "source code" for the object (at least I think that's what
I'm doing.)  What does "and code" mean?  So I guess it's just a vocabulary
mismatch for me.

Since this works, I'll simply add this concept to my worldview.  I'm happy
to learn new things. :)

And it was sure easier than doing it in Java. :)
