John,

You can still use a private oObj in the main prg that launches the initial creator object. This will give it app only scope, and would potentially allow you to have two or more simultaneous apps running independent of each other.

>As to object references, I'll bite: If I am doing oObj=NEWOBJECT("something","something") and I am doing this in some method somewhere but want oObj referenced everywhere, what's wrong with PUBLIC oObj? Or do I have my head up my butt? (a common occurence lately).
