aha! what I was doing was this

function CustomArray() {
         this.prototype = new Array();
            .....
}

which doesn't work!

is there a difference between setting the prototype of the object and 
setting the prototype of the constructor function??.

sorry if this is annoying newbie stuff, I am from PHP/Lingo background, I 
love this dynamic language, but it can be very confusing!
