     Objective-C on the Next uses the C function objc_Send() to do the
actual messaging.  Next says to NEVER use this function in your own
code.  However, I need to get a pointer to a message.

     1.  Is this used in all implementations of Objective-C?  Would
        using this function be portable?

     2.  Would use of this function be upward compatible with future
        releases of NextStep?

  please email responses -  thanx
                  D.L.

P.S.  I think that Objective-C and C++ go great together!
