A package means a collection of related classes and thats not whats happening- it is a scoping level for a particular file. A namespace is a scope which groups related identifiers. Classes have their own namespaces, as do functions. This is adding a namespace to a file, rather than the whole file being executed in global scope (which is obviously what currently happens) -- Marc Gear marcgear@gmail.com
