This is because you have init: defined differently in two places.  In
RP, you have init:(int)pSize while in RS you have init:(id)sender.
This is a nono.  If you need an initializer that takes an int for the
starting size, call it - initSize:(int)pSize, etc... and call that.
Don't forget to call [super init]...
