Thanks, Ron,
I don't think so. It is more like instantiating a stack class with
each instance of that class (a stack object) having a "MaxDepth"
space allocated to it. Then each time I "NEW CLS_Stack", I would get
a stack object of "MaxDepth" elements. (I am ignoring the TopOfStack,
Push, Pop, etc. for now.)
What I think I'm hearing from Doug and Aaron is that the stack is
actually defined outside the context of the class. If I then want a
stack of "MaxDepth", I have to call the "CLS_Stack.Init (MaxDepth)"
in order to obtain an array named S5. I think I then need:
SET S5 = (NEW CLS_Stack).Init(MaxDepth)
which will make S5 an array of "MaxDepth" elements. So, my confusion
and question really comes down to, "Where do I declare the array that
is my stack?" I thought I could do it inside the Class block,
hopefully parameterizing the class somehow so that I could have something like:
SET S5 = NEW CLS_Stack(MaxDepth)
and
Set S12 = NEW Cls_Stack(MonthsPerYear)
etc.
I understand this is not permitted as VBS does not support
parameterizing a class. This is a shame IMHO because so many classes
seem to be a natural "List" of other objects.
Redim can certainly handle the dynamic fluctuations in the depth of a
stack, but that seems to me to be operative only after the stack is
set up in the first place.
I can imagine a whole collection of objects organized in all manner
of data structures -- queues, trees, graphs, ... All of these
structures could be restricted to a given, well defined, set of some
number of objects.
So, on to the WIKI articles which I assume are at AppCentral.
Thanks, Aaron, for that lead.

Does redim solve this problem for you?
