And, yes, by "binding" I meant "linking the compiled binary files" (that is, binding the unbound references in the code to actual memory addresses for library routines, globals, and the like). It sounds as though there already is an Objective-C interpreter. Can this be called from the user's program at run time? That is, could I store a string in a "Button" object and then interpret that string when the user pushes the button? Could I refer to variables from this program fragement and, if so, how are these references resolved? -- John
