If you are serious that you want an example in the manual you should look
at Chapter 5 and 5.1 in the rexx programming guide (rexxpg.pdf) where there
is an example of a class and object and the difference between class and
instance methods. It uses the array class as an example, but the principle
is the same throughout and applies to the datetime class.
My experience was that once I got used to it and let go of some
preconceptions, it made sense and was not hard to understand.
Hope that helps
