Ok, will do .. (when I can run Gambas up again .. I'll try a clean checkout ..)

Mmm, but that doesn't necessarily help you when you come to "use" the component ... 

To be realistic, if this was useful you would have;

component.dimensions.width
component.dimensions.height
component.dimensions.top
component.dimensions.left 

Would we not?

... yet we don't .. (!)

I don't understand why it was done this way too. If you want to put all the 
device properties in the main class, I see no problem with that. Go on...

I think that Ron_1st wanted to say, in his mail, that you can use subclasses 
just for grouping device properties.
