+1111 Browsing in a Smalltalk image should be self-documenting, not just because of comments, but because of beautiful, understandable code. A Dan Ingalls quote from "Design Principles Behind Smalltalk" ( http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/smalltalk.html ) Just to get warmed up, I'll start with a principle that is more social than technical and that is largely responsible for the particular bias of the Smalltalk project: Personal Mastery: If a system is to serve the creative spirit, it must be entirely comprehensible to a single individual. An excellent read, this document, by the way! Sven
