In recent years there has been some interest in trying to improve the behaviour of maps by extending their domains (see Whyburn [10], Baur [3], Krolevec [8], Dickman [5], Franklin and Kohli [6]). It was shown in [6] that every map can be extended to an open map so that certain properties of the domain and range are preserved in the new domain. In [6] and [7] we also related the topological properties of the domain and range of the mapping with the new domain; also these results were then used to obtain analogues and improvements of recent theorems of Arhangelskii, Čoban, Hodel, Keesling, Nagami, Okuyama, and Proizvolov. In this note we give a method of unifying the domain and range of a mapping so as to yield a meaningful open extension.
