Hi Rob,

What you say seems to make sense, but it is hard to tell without
looking at some code.

There are some simple examples of traits in Chapter 5 of Squeak by
Example.

Thanks, Oscar...and there it was, right in front of me all along.

"A trait is a collection of methods that can be included in the behaviour of

a class without the need for inheritance. This makes it easy for classes to

have a unique superclass, yet still share useful methods with otherwise

unrelated classes."

This may just be what I was looking for!

Thanks again,

Rob
