Tomm, Thank you for your kind reply.

So when you declare a >method static in Java, all you are really doing is telling the compiler, >"this code executes the old-fashioned way." Oh, I never think it that way. Yes, I have some experience for non-object-oriented languages... but years ago. But I never connect these languages' function handling with this. Your explanation about "do it old-fashioned way" makes me real wiser. Thank you very much. And I thank again to all others who give a thinking upon this problem too, Regards, Emiko Kezuka To change your membership options, refer to: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm
