  I tried this and didn't get any error.  I managed to create an
instance of DynamicVariable with two slots.

> And, by the way, the method #variableWordSubclass cannot be found with Method Finder. Why?

  I'm not sure how you did this, but if you select from the "v" to "s"
above and press Ctrl-w (or Alt-Shift-w), you'll see the selectors that
contains the selected string as a part.
