One of the major difficulties I encountered when making new classes is the lack of a class browser (something like the SmallTalk browser) that shows me the existing classes, their inheritance path, the class's data structure and the available methods. Such a browser would also be a nice extension to the on-line help and the documentation, that does not show the same level of clarity throughout the whole set. I cannot imagine that such a browser would not be available in some form, given the large number of users of the Andrew environment (and they cannot all be end-users). If someone out there already has made an Andrew class browser or has thought about making one, please let me know. I would be very greatfull.
