   It does...

[ lots of imported code deleted ]

The code in 2.1 only searches the instance variables of the class for
which the method is defined, not the object that is being sent the
message. This only crops up when you are playing around with super
classes and inheritance of methods. What I was doing was trying to
write a generic `set an instance variable' method for an entire class
heirarchy. After I had `fixed' xlisp, wasn't very difficult, just
yucky :-)

   As to your other questions, hopefully somebody else will answer, as I am
   very busy.

Aren't we all :-(
