LOL! It's work to me now :-) Wow, that was a quick response! Do you live here? :-)

Gotcha now!

There's that thinking thing again <g>

Yup. Read that in the Dev Guide.
One thing I am trying to understand right now, is why I would want to subclass to create a third level for the clients. The explanation in the guide mentions that this would come in handy if a client wants different fonts, etc...
Qstart will create a new project in a new directory. Therefore, wouldn't I just change my "W" classes (the 2nd level) and recreate the application/exe and send it off to the client??
Still a little new to OOP, but getting there.
