David  Betz describes  his XScheme  as 'An  object-oriented Scheme'  in the
manual he supplies  with the code [1], but that  manual contains no mention
of  OOP facilities.  However, OOP  commands are  present in  XScheme. Hence
these questions:

  1. Is  there  any  user-level  documentation  (not  the  source C code!)
     available on OOP in XScheme, and if so, where?

  2. Are  there any caveats regarding  the present state (I  have v0.22) of
     implementation of  OOP in XScheme?  (I am considering  using XScheme's
     OOP  in  teaching  since  our  students  use  XScheme for other Scheme
     applications.)

Thanks in advance for replies.
