At the end of the day, speaking as an old Smalltalker who thinks objects rule, I've just had give up on the OO dream when using Rev. As you've learned, it's not implemented and although there are some worthy work-alikes, they're not really satisfactory to an OO thinker.

There has been a lot of back-channel talk about either creating an OO version of Transcript or forking a new IDE/Language combo for OO folks but my guess is that's a pretty distant dream at this point.

assign the script of an object as the
"parentScript" to one or more other
objects. This would allow 25 buttons to use the
same script of its parent.

isn't this what a group script for 25 grouped buttons should do?
Sure. But what if your 25 buttons aren't on the same card or the same stack?
They may still all need the exact same behaviour.

Use a frontscript that differentiates based on a property setting.
