Evan,

I understand but what I'm after is building the class itself dynamically,
akin to the way you can manufacture a prolog predicate on the fly.  For
example,  if wanted to create a class whose name was provided in a string
variable called ClassName, at runtime.  Or did I misunderstand your reply?
