Not at all.

Please review the error message given. Two arguments expected. Three given.

self = #1
if () represented a tuple, then that was only a second argument, and not 
three given.
If ( ) represented two separate arguments (a '(' and a ')') then that was 
two arguments. I know it makes no sense for () to represent two arguments, 
but the error message made no sense to me so...grasping at anything.

Right. I'm aware of how class functions work. Course, I'm certainly capable 
of making a goof-up and forgetting about self. I just didn't this time.

Yes. I showed the complete app in the originating post in this thread. I am 
using the correct class app and context (I believe). At least, no one else 
has called me on it in this discussion.
