Thanks for the pointers J. W. and Brian. They have focused my attention
back where it belonged. The source of my confusion was that I was looking
at the wizard generated definition of my class constructor in a *.h file and
seeing only a declaration and thinking that ATL had somehow taken over my
class's definition and how could I tell ATL that I wanted to initialize some
member variables. It's obvious to me now, but I was so focused on ATL
because of it's newness to me that I overlooked what I should have seen.
Thanks for setting me straight,
Walter
