    this class has been added for ST-80 compatibility only.

    All class stuff used to be in Behavior and Class - but, to be

    able to file in some PD code, it became nescessary to add it.

    ClassDescription adds some descriptive information to the basic

    Behavior class.

    Instance variables:

    name            <String>        the classes name

    category        <String>        the classes category

    instvars        <String>        the names of the instance variables
