[I'll be replying via e-mail to the poster, but thought this would
be of interest to others as well]

There is a fairly good introduction to OOP, Obj C, and NeXT's mods to
gbd available via anon ftp from nova.cc.purdue.edu in the file
pub/next/docs/Objc.frame.Z (the OldObjc.{ps,wn} are an older version
of this).  The tutorial is about 50-60 pages in a FrameMaker document.

It *appears* that the tutorial is a set of course notes made for
an OOP programming class at purdue (tho I don't remember exactly, I
haven't read it for a month or so).
