Great! You're in the debugger. Except all you've done is dump the results of three my statements -- which doesn't help us understand why the module isn't working.

Keep going (no one said this stuff is easy) and step a few more times, and check that you get a good object from the new constructor (as I've said twice before). Continue stepping, letting us know what's going on inside the while loop.

I could give you all sorts of reasons why I shouldn't do this, but I'm not going to -- in any case, you're running on Windows/DOS, and I'm on RH9, so the result would be meaningless. The point is, you have to be the one who figures out what's going on. All I can do here is offer assistance, and try to keep from snapping (reminds me of raising teenagers, in a way).
