IIRC the previous discussions, there simply isn't enough information in the array interface to decide what needs to be done with regards to object arrays. I think a general solution would require a specialized creation function with more arguments, say, a depth argument which would create objects at a certain depth of nesting. In your case that would be at level 0(1?). I think that would solve most problems, and I suppose it could be added to the current array interface with a default value implying current behavior, i.e., as deep as possible. Chuck
