[Tutor] Class error

[Henry Dominik]

Thanks a million Alan,

Your suggestion helped solve the problem.
Besides, why did I have to do this: class 
EmplAddrBookEntry(AddrBookEntry.AddrBookEntry):

The AddrBookEntry and EmplAddrBookEntry classes are in the same folder, I 
didn't think I needed to call another module or something..

Well, I need to learn more :)

Thanks anyway
