Re: Beginner question referring to an object in a class from within method in that class

James,

Almost missed this!  Thanks once again; I'm learning a lot here.

A constructor is not a method.  Does it work like a method, but is only 
invoked by using the "new" keyword? Can it have any parms? Like

foo = new Bar(aParm); ?


And classes don't always have to have a constructor, right?
