I'd seen it mentioned in comp.lang.smalltalk, but I hadn't realized it
was a *superset* of Smalltalk.  The name's a little deceptive, I had
always thought of it as being more of a lightweight (read PHP).  Thank
you for the information, the link, and, unless I'm mistaken, the
language.  I will delve into this before I start, to mine for ideas as
well gain familiarity with.  But I've gotten so excited about my little
project that I've got to go through with it.  Keep in mind that I do not
intend to *use* my project for anything, just for self-improvement and
bragging-rights, and maybe the occasional quick foray into prototype
modelling for small stuff.  I predict an early and obscure retirement
for this language, maybe I'll bring it out of mothballs every once in a
while to do some trivial text manipulation task just to prove to myself
it still works.
