Thanks to everyone who contributed a reply to my question regarding the use of super and inheritance. This community is a wonderful resource for people like me who are trying to a learn a new programming system on their own. Sorry if I created the impression that I was trying to get an answer for homework off the 'net. I'm many years out from school and largely self-taught: I write code to help me manage data for my day job (psychiatry). Previously I used emacs lisp, but found it difficult to organize and manage programs of any real size and thought smalltalk might offer some advantages in this regard.
Thanks, dennis
