Here is a question which has been puzzling me for quite a while:  Is it
possible to display the name of a given object?  For example, given an
object with an instance variable Foo which contains another object, how
can I find out the name of the variable which references that object?  Any
reference to the object that I have found simply returns aClass.  But
for any object created there should be some name associated with it within
the scope of its creation...

Of course, this could all be a simple understanding...

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks,
