Aha.  Hadn't thought of this.  I'm assuming you want an environment Zort that has in it a class named Zort.  I believe this should work fine in the current scheme, and I also believe that it it doesn't right now.  It shouldn't be hard to fix.

Yes.  It's not quite all there yet.  It is at a point where I can fix things pretty fast, I just have zero time for the next two days.

Congratulations on your courage and persistence.  If you feel like sending me (privately) specific details about what didn't work, it will speed my process as soon as I'm back in action.  I'm glad to have a client.
