Sorry, forget that -- "initialization argument" here is different from "initform". However, 7.1.5 says (about the system-supplied primary method for shared-initialize) "This method behaves as follows on each slot, whether shared or local" so I still think 7.1.3 applies to shared slots as well. -- Martin Simmons LispWorks Ltd http://www.lispworks.com/ _______________________________________________ pro mailing list [email protected] http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pro
