Headache!

   I'm using Smalltalk/V Mac 1.1, and there appears to be a significant
documentation problem.  I am interested in changing the contents of a
GraphPane every given number of clock ticks, for an analog clock face.  The
manual says there is a method called clockEvent: anInteger (pp. 363) which
will "Perform the clockEvent method in the model.  anInteger is the
cumulative clock interrupts since last clock event."

   Of course, this method does not exist in my class hierarchy.  So I looked
up the method in the method index, and it told me that DemoClass and
InputEvent also implement this method.  Only InputEvent does, but the
documentation for that class (pp. 371) doesn't list the method.

   To what must I resort in order to get this continual message sending?
