sending arrays to objects

[Mark Smith]

Thanks, what I've done in this case, because the object concerned  
only ever has to deal with one array at a time, is to set a cp in the  
object from wherever, and then send a "checkCP" message to it to do  
what it needs to do with the cp.
Two lines as opposed to one, but not the end of the world...
