My second qustion today.

Using Smalltalk/V. Why is it not possible to add a new instance
variable to a class when it has already some?

I get the error message 'Has instance' and looking into the method in
question, it explicitly checks for that.

In the 86 version I got away with disabling this part, but the 286
version crashes with a violation error. I am sure its there for some
reason. 

What am I missing here?

Any help will be greatly appreciated as it annoys me very much.

Thanks
