+"
+    abstract superclass for all kinds of visual components, which
+    are containers for some other component.
+    This class and its subclasses (currently) exist mostly for
+    ST-80 compatibility - to provide a home for ported PD classes,
+    which depend on the VisualPart hierarchy.
+
+    Notice: 
+        this class was implemented using protocol information
+        from alpha testers and from the Hopkins/Horan book.
+        - it may not be complete or compatible to the corresponding ST-80 class. 
+        If you encounter any incompatibilities, please forward a note 
+        describing the incompatibility verbal (i.e. no code) to the ST/X team.
+        This is still being constructed - not yet finished.
