Thanks

I guess I just have to get my head around things like that, a bit dangerous
I feel to call methods before contruct.

It would be ok if it was "procs" that worked like that insode the classs,
but not instprocs :(

Hi, always nice to see that interest in XOTcl is growing (from a user's

Actually the -dash methods are called first. There was actually a reason for
this, but I cannot quite remember what it was. Something to do with wanting
to initialise things before the actual init method. If you want to be sure
to call init first do:

Project .p -init -getarg 1
