Framework input: aString
       input := aString.

 A Basic "module"

BasicModule>>ManCommand:
  "Tells the framework what to do when it gets a method"

BasicModule>>initialize
   framework := Framework new.

The class that manages where the commands go, all of the commands, in a way
it is part of the framework.

ManCommands>>sendCommand: aCommandString

mod = BasicModule new.  "THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANT!! BAD!!!"
mod ManCommand: aCommandString.

then there are always some accessors thats just basically how it works.


One more question...How do I know when i need to use a class method instead
of an instance method?
