[Laszlo-dev] Adding a class to LFC?

[Cortlandt Winters]

Hi PT,

Thank you for responding so quickly,

Yes, I was going to be more specific than saying "without sucess" but I
managed to muck up my source so that it fails for some other reason now and
I need to start again with a fresh tree of source without all my noodling
included.

If my memory is correct when I tried to instantiate a frogview tag the
compiler gave me a warning that the class didn't seem to exist and did I
spell it corectly?

Thank you for both of these additional steps, I'll try them both out. And I
will take notes for the future and add to the wiki when I figure it out.

Thanks again!

-Cort
