Doug,

((3 @ 4) respondsTo: #<=) answers true here, the rest are confusing
because you are sending #respondsTo: to a class, whereas you really want
to know if its instances respond to certain messages, try

Array
 with: ((3 @ 4) respondsTo: #<=)
 with: ((3 @ 4) respondsTo: #abs)
 with: ((3 @ 4) respondsTo: #hash)
 with: ((3 @ 4) respondsTo: #storeOn:)

Cheers,

-Boris
