First, Types are NOT objects. This is important. When you go New, or such you make an INSTANCE of a TYPE. An Instance of a Type is an object.



You see, thats just it I know this. Just typing to quickly. I also need to remember that Bmax has OOP but with some new additions of its own.


Second, do not call Release on objects.



So I assume you kill an object with Null.

And what am I to make of this in the blitz docs...

Release references to a handle or object





Incidently you really shouldn't reference an instance once it's been dereferenced. It might work now, but I'm thinking that's more of a fluke than by design.



Yes, and I must not forget that this is the beta!
