I think it should, if this eli> terminology is to be widely accepted. I don't know what the popular usage in the C++ community is. I don't want to invent new phrases if there are existing phrases. I checked "The C++ Programming Language" and it does not have any nice phrases to distinguish "the type that the pointer says" versus "the type that the object in memory has". Michael C
