Yes. Indeed, I'm using it rather heavily for my current (to be wrapped
up) job. No need for namespaces thank goodness.

I assume you have the relevant file.

Of course, examining the *class* variables won't do a thing for you. No
class variable will, or should, hold instance data ;)

Try "do it"ing the following in a workspace:

   (XMLDOMParser parseDocumentFromFileNamed: 'examples\dream.xml') explore

(Or taking your line and hidding alt/cmd-I.)

I hope it's this simple :) If it is, you need a Smalltalk, not an XML,
tutorial first. If not, I guess another round of email is in order :)
