Can anyone please explain how the -url declaration in this index.vuh tells the request processor to pretend that one of the site nodes doesn't exist?

Also, I have been searching for documentation that explains '::xowiki::Package initialize' but I cannot find anything appropriate. Any pointers gratefully received.

Richard

"initialize" is a method of the xo* package manager, that initializes a package for a http request (query context).

If you google for "instproc initialize" you find the generic https://openacs.org/api-doc/proc-view?proc=%3A%3Axo%3A%3APackageMgr+instproc+initialize
There is as well some info in the xowiki tutorial: http://alice.wu-wien.ac.at:8000/s5-xowiki-tutorial/slides

Thank you Gustav. I am starting to work through your xotcl docs and these links will be very helpful.

I am hoping to get to grips with oo programming from scratch using xotcl in advance of re-writing an internal message package I wrote for an earlier version of OpenACS.

It is the kind of application that would lend itself to an oo approach.
