Oh well then in that case I think this idea is great!! I'm in the middle of proto-typing (sp?) ideas for a fairly big app that will definitely need to make use of AbstractFactory. If you're really into making the coding changes and Kevin's tied up... send it to me awhile & I'll run it through the rox-mill and send you & Kevin my feedback if you want. =D)
