Ah, I see. I was already using that but my lack of familiarity with
the terms led me to think it was something else. :-)

By the way, is there a way to add instance variable using this method?
I won't need them for this particular case but I can't find any
information about that and I'll need it for another part of the
application.

Thanks again for the help. I hope you don't mind my eventual cluelessness. :-)

Cheers,

Ronaldo
