No problem. Something I should have mentioned earlier which might have
answered some of your questions is to recommend Hanspeter Mössenböck's
excellent book: "Object-Oriented Programming in Oberon-2":

http://www.ssw.uni-linz.ac.at/Research/Books/

It can still be purchased from Amazon. If I had a $ for every time I'd
recommended this book I'd be a rich man ;-)

If you want a taste of what is in the book read his earlier paper with the
same title which was presented at the 2nd International Modula-2 Conference.
It can be downloaded in Postscript format from:
