Thanks Jecel,

I had the "class" button selected when looking at Object and thought 
I was looking at the methods which the Object class understood - 
didn't realize there was a whole other hierarchy on the class side - 
why doesn't it say something like:

ProtoObject class subclass #Object class

	instanceVariableNames: ''

and why can't you spawn a class side heirarchy?

Behavior
	ClassDescription
		Class
			ProtoObject class
				Object class

I am sure this will all make sense after awhile. Thanks again.

Karl
