might be missing something in the docs here, how would u do object and handle in max? (probally changed its name but same thing)

All types are derived from the object class/type. So you can do this, Type MyType Field Test End Type A:MyType = New MyType Obj:Object=Object( A ) I.e you can make any type an object and pass it around. And transform it into any other class below it in the class tree.

Plus we have proper pointers now, so Handle and Object are irrelevant anyway.

How would you cast an Int or Object back to a Type tho?

Type( ... ) -> cast to type this is only allowed within the same derivation tree.

interesting. Local rememberme = a should work also.
