how to contruct an object extending com.workingdogs.village.Record from a Record

Hi there,

I need to create a class, say BetterRecord, that extends
com.workingdogs.village.Record. I couldn't figure out how to construct a
BetterRecord object from an existing com.workingdogs.village.Record.

public class BetterRecordextends Record {
       public RetterRecord (Record r) {
          ???
       }
 public String getThings() {
  return this.things;
 }
 public void setThings(String str) {
  this.things = str;
 }
}

Thanks very much!

David
