Ok, understood.

I probably found a trick, posting it here so that people looking at the
archives can find it :)

I'm working (yes, still) on a gb.net.ldap component, and needed this
"overloading" thing. I solved it using a Module called "LDAP" (-> static), and
a class called LDAPConnection. How to use:

---8<---
ldap AS NEW LDAPConnection

ldap.Host = ".."
ldap.Port = ".."
[..]
ldap.Connect()
--->8---

LDAPConnection has:

---8<---
PUBLIC SUB Connect()
    LDAP.Connect(ME.sHost, ME.iPort, [..])
END
--->8---

And LDAP.Connect() has the right signature and code doing stuff. Obviously one
could also call LDAP.Connect() directly.

Back to code now!

Ciao,
David
