Hi Victor, TList, THashList, TObjArray, etc and all Root collections deriving from TCollection use the TCollection::Write function. The doc of this function says: void TCollection::Write(const Text_t *name, Int_t option, Int_t bsize) { // Write all objects in this collection. By default all objects in // the collection are written individually (each object gets its // own key). To write all objects using one key specify a name and // set option to kSingleKey (i.e. 1). You can ORed differend options if you like.
