Pardon another question folks, but I'm having trouble figuring something
out from the Coldstuff manual.
Its kind of a two part question:
1) When object-variables are inherited, does the inheritor
have its own copy or do all inheritors reference the
parent's copy?
2) I can see a need for both. In some cases you want
a variable to act like a c++ static member,
at other times you DEFINATELY need your own
copy. (For instance, I have a window-object that
is defined once but I want independant copies
for each oen tahts opened.) How is this handled?
Is this what frobs are for?
Thanks
