Scott, Can you clarify a bit between why "callout" is ok but "callback" is wrong. I understand your remark about not passing a function pointer into something to get called back (I'm an old C kernel device driver programmer). But if something in core is calling out to your function, and your module somehow registered that such a function is available, how is it not a callback? If I'm confused here, and you didn't register the function (you passed an object, so that seems like a positive registration action), but core just looks for the function, then it sounds like a hook -- which given other messages it seems like it is not. Sorry if my density is getting the way of understanding here. :-) Thanks. ..chrisxj
