Hi

I dont't see my last posting coming up in my news reader.
So I think I make some mistake. Excuse me if you read
this twice.

I want to know if some BETA guru could say something
to the following:

See page 71 in the BETA book:

"A computed reference may be used in a computed remote name,
which has the form:

  (ComputedReference).name

[...]"

Can you do something like this in BETA:

  Reference.(ComputedName)

I don't think it works this way, but you might get the
idea want I want !

Maybe there is a library function doing this ?

If it's not possible, why ?


Another question is: Can I determine at runtime which
methods an object understands ?

Ciao, Olli
