OK, its not important as it isn't part of my project anyway, only part of 
Borland's Demo.

OK... I think I see where your going with this but...

Yup I'll just bet I could too if ONLY:

I can get get tech support to explain how to get a list of instances if I 
can get the rest figured out.

The help files say "this" is implied. What "type" is "this" I don't know.
I had less trouble learning to TALK than I'm having learning this.
Is this the list your talking about?? What should it look like when added?
Also there is no destructor. If I add one and ever refresh the type library
for some reason like adding new functions won't it vanish?
I'm not stupid but I feel that way right now.
