Randy,

Thanks a lot for the information--I see similar code
in the doco for the _neo_ statement, which I was
overlooking in favor of the _new_ statement.  However,
I can't find documentation that *explains* what's
happening here.  Evidently, the attr list is being
passed to the _init() method.  However, where is the
documentation that explains what that attr list should
contain?  In other words, what is the structure /
semantics of the required attr list, and where is it
documented?

Thanks!
Matt
