Dear Mark
Classes are first-class values, you can bind them to variables, store
them in data structures, return them by functions etc. So, you can
also export them by functors.
You only need to export the class, but not its methods. You can then
instantiate this class and the resulting objects will understand all
the class methods. If you want to have private methods (which cannot
be called outside), use variables instead of atoms for their name
(the record label of the method). These methods can then only be
called within the scope of these variables (e.g., within the functor
definition).

Hi,
This may have answered my question. I'm happy with defining a new
class, my confusion was how to integrate it into a functor
definition. I was thinking along the lines of how to export all the
methods of the class. If you just export the class itself then I
think I'm OK. I'll try it later.
(Should have been obvious really I suppose).
Thanks
Mark

Hi,
How can I wrap all this in a class definition instead so that
FileName and Record are attributes of a class?
My advise is to go to http://www.mozart-oz.org/documentation/
tutorial/node10.html#chapter.classes where classes and objects are
explained. Section 10.3 gives you a complete example on how to
define classes and create objects from them.
When you have finished to create a class version of your code then
just export the class in the functor. Having this, you will be
able to create different objects by importing the new created
funtor from other functors.
If you have any problem, feel free to post your new code and ask
any question.
Regards,
Gustavo Gutierrez
