[...] Isn't this another case of `it's not a bug, it's a feature'? ;-) ROOT does not make any difference between an object and a pointer to an object. Object.Function and Object->Function are equivalent. ( from http://root.cern.ch/root/html/examples/commandline.html ) I had already some trouble with this feature (e.g. with overloaded functions) and I seem to remember, that there was once the idea, to allow switching it off. Has anything happened in this direction? Best regards Christoph
