How do you define a class?

I have been reading through the guide and looking at the examples but I still do not see how we define a class -- it's instance variables -- and it's methods. I would appreciate any help or guidance you may give. I think this can be a great product -- Basic with complete Cocoa Framework access -- cool -- keep up the good work.

To get a custom class, you only need to create a new file in the IDE. The filename determines the super class and the class name.
file base name = class name
file extension = super class name
example:
myForm.Window
file base name = myForm
file extension = Window
Only a few super classes are allowed now: Window, View, Object
To use it in the global.Object file:
Public Dim f As myForm
accessing somewhere
f.mysub()
A new update will come soon, with code completion ready and bug fixes.

Bernd,
One of the first things I noticed within your example code regarding classes is that your examples leave off the "NS" in front of each of the Cocoa class names. I was not sure if this is by design or was accidentally omitted.
In the "QuickStart" example I had to add in the "NS" to class references in the code examples in order to make it compile.
However it was not necessary to use "NS" in front of "Object" in creating the "code" class. (code.Object)
This could be quite confusing to beginners with Objective-Basic such as I.
Your help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Well, you are right and it is a mistake as you read the language reference.
I will check it out today and upload a new version. Thanks for your comments
