Description Sabrina.Bouvet 2001-07-24 04:10:37 CEST 
In your documentation, (Application Developper, Tracking), you say that you
have access to number of secondaries but there is no method of GetSecondaries
in G4ParticleChange. I find one in G4VParticleChange but I don't understand how
to use it. Could you help me? Thanks.

ParticleChange is NOT meant to the user's use.
Once G4SteppingManager collects secondaries made by the particular
ParticleChange, it contains no secondaries anymore.

To get information about the current step, I advise to make your own
SteppingVerbose class, or to import some of its code into your
SteppingAction (or sensitive datector). Refer to the exampleN03 for
the use of G4SteppingVerbose.
