Thanks for you reply. Unfortunately it is not what I was hoping
to hear.

If a structure cannot be redeclared, does this mean that I have
to leave the IDLDE every time I want to make a change to any of
my classes? In my mind, that seriously reduces the usability of
the development environment. Is it possible to reset the DE
and have it forget my classes?

thanks again,

don
