Re: Operator Overloading <<

<<Austin>>You can't overload in Ruby, you can override and you have to
call super to make it work, or you have to call it directly with
aliasing.

Yes, override is the term I should have used. Bob and Daniel, thanks
for the examples and Austin, thanks for the guidance in the right
direction. I will go learn about delegates and see how I fare. Aside
from being new to Ruby I'm still pretty new to programming in general.
(Just a couple of C++ classes under my belt. Enough to be dangerous
;-) ) But I am loving Ruby!!!

Are delegates common to all OO languages? I don't remember learning
about them in my C++ class.

Thanks again.

Matt
