Depends what you mean by "object". int x = 6; int y = 5; x = y; I'd say x was mutable, with no "identity" problems involved? Why is it problematic that variables have identity and are mutable? Certainly I can later "find" whatever value I put into x. -- Darren New / San Diego, CA, USA (PST) This octopus isn't tasty.
