Is there anybody out there in Eiffel-land who knows how to extend 
the Eiffel STRING class with a feature for example ,
         Tail(s:String_ext):String_ext to class STRING_EXT
and still have the possibility for an assignment like 
         n:STRING_EXT ;
         n := "TEST".
I always receive a message like 
               "STRING is not a descendant class of STRING_EXT".

Thanks in advance.

Monique
