Merrily working away on the _Squeak OO Design with Multimedia 
Applications_ book. Joe the Box. I get curious about how "new" is 
implemented.

How does Object (or ProtoObject) implement new?

When you write Box>>new (Box is a subclass of Object):

new
	^super new initialize.

where is the new that it is finding?

I found Behavior>>new, which calls a primitive, which seems a likely 
possibility, but I can't see how Object uses it?

What am I missing? I realize that this is the most basic of the 
basic. It is highly unnerving to have it be such a mystery. I mean if 
you are supposed to be able to find the implementation of almost 
anything in the system, shouldn't you be able to easily see how 
Object implements new?
