+    to a model which is shown in a view. For very simple views,
     (and due to the evolution of Smalltalk/X) many view-classes have
     the controller function integrated.
     To allow both controller and non-controller operation, events are
     sent directly to the view, if its controller instance variable
     is nil. Otherwise, the controller gets the event.
+    For now (vsn 2.10.4) there are only a few view classes using controllers;
+    however, over time, more will be converted, since separating the controller
+    offers much more flexibility (although view initialization becomes a bit more complex).
