Oleg wanted to know how to do OOP in Mathematica. Mathematica is not an Object Oriented Programming language. You can download a package posted at http://www.mathsource.com/Content/Enhancements/Language/0206-525 which will allow you to emulate OOP in Mathematica, but I doubt this is a good approach to Mathematica programming. Mathematica does have a powerful and elegant programming language that is probably not like anything you ever worked with before. I should mention that Mathematica does support procedural programming constructs that are typical of other programming languages, but that is seldom the best way to do things in Mathematica. What you should do is get a good intro Mathematica book. I will send another message soon recommending one in particular. Once you have a working knowledge of Mathematica you might find my website (URL below) a helpful resource. ----------- Regards, Ted Ersek Check Mathematica Tips, Tricks at http://www.verbeia.com/mathematica/tips/Tricks.html
