something like:

loMainItem.Item0200[1] = new Item0200( loMainItem, *params*)

function Item0200 (toParent) {
   this.parent = toParent
   *etc*
   }


This works because javascript is passing an object pointer, which is then assigned to the newly 
created object property.  Future references to loMainItem.Item0200[1].parent would reference the 
loMainItem object, correct?

thanks for your help
