>THis is kind of hokey, but you can bind an event to fire a method by changing a property in the empty object. Paste the following code in a PRG and run it:
>LOCAL o, x

>ADDPROPERTY(o, 'FireInit')
>x = NEWOBJECT('EmptyMethods')
>BINDEVENT(o, 'FireInit', x, 'FireInit')

You can have one class for methods and a miriad of props only classes that use it :-)
