Hi,
   Maybe its' just too early in the morning for me...but I didnt follow
how that would let me change from one list of files to another.
   So yes I have a Myclass.h and Myclass.C set of files.  They were
generated from a chain that included set1_file1.root, set1_file2.root,
etc.  Now I would like to make them use set2_file1.root, set2_file2.root,
etc.
   are you saying I just make a new chain, and I pass it in as &chain?
                                             -Drew
