Yes, I know and thanks for the reminder. However, AddressOf does not require knowledge of the signature at all and that 's just a convenience under particular circumstances. While usage of AddressOf failed initially (because I used quotes) the fallback was dynamic access

Huh? What do you mean by this? If you are using RB code then AddressOf is your only option, and if you are using a plugin then the dynamic access API is your only option. How can one be a fallback for the other? I am worried that you have written a plugin which expects its RB client code to pass in a function pointer. This would definitely not be an intended use for AddressOf.
