About this Borland Extension,
   What I really can't understand is how I would use it in a program.  Can
I also have a class that responds to messages, or is it something that must 
come out in order to support MS Win X.XX and all their yoga programming 
practices.  I really don't know, but if I can use it as some sort of       
message based polymorphism (ie. it could go to all objects responding to the
message), then as a global siren it would make a good idea.  Like all things
, we (people) are most often resistant to change. (Too bad there isn't a way
to harness the friction a new idea creates - lots of energy there).
