Whoa -- I guess I missed something. What is a ?Method object, and
can these be defined within ACeDB or Blixem? Where are ?Method
objects documented?
---------------------------------
Hello
What I have understood is that ?Method object correspond to the display definition. Following is a copy of the ?Method as defined in the ACEDB 4_7g model. I do not know where it is documented. If somebody knows, I am interested.
