Hey Wolfgang, Kas,<br>
<br>
So, a few years ago I wanted the same thing for intelligent casting<br>
purposes. Instances of Object type respond to the method toString()<br>
as well as typeOf(), a stubbed out method in Object source code with<br>
no implementation.<br>
<br>
My solution was modify the implementation of toString() to only return<br>
the class name and inserted that into the stub for typeOf().<br>
<br>
After recompilation, I could call typeOf() on instances (or instances<br>
of subclasses of) Object and get a string representation of that<br>
object's type.<br>
<br>
I can be more specific about the change and the files involved when I<br>
get back to my home after the holidays (Wednesday).<br>
<br>
Hope this helps! It's an easy change.<br>
<br>
