Now the first word "selector" is not what I am worried about. Since this is one of the parameters being sent to a method, the first word is only an indicator. but the @selector(drawAnother:), I don't understand. There is a method named "drawAnother", that's where that word comes from. But what does @selector(drawAnother:) do? In specific what is the @selector used for? I appreaciate your time in reading this mesage very much. Thank You.

This is thoroughly documented in Apple's "Object Oriented Programming and the Objective-C Language" book, which you can access from the "Cocoa Help" page of Project Builder's help menu.

Check out the section "How Messaging Works" in the chapter "The Objective-C Language".

BTW, the whole book makes very good reading. I've thoroughly enjoyed it every time that I've reread it ever since Next wrote the very first version a long time ago.

With kind regards

Piers
