Ok so name is a method on object and when you check Pharo it is defined like this:
name "Answer a name for the receiver. This is used generically in the title of certain inspectors, such as the referred-to inspector, and specificially by various subsystems. By default, we let the object just print itself out.. "
^ self printStringAnd printString on object is called which calls printStringLimitedTo: nnn
And that in turn calls 'class name'.
So you need to add the 'name' instance variable to Class and add the name method:
name "Answer the name of the receiver."
name == nil ifTrue: [^super name]
ifFalse: [^name]Of course this can get Cyclic.
What I need to do is ensure that as part of creating a subclass that the setName: method is called with
the appropriate name. I'll check where this is done, and please can you take care of the rest?

and getting (basically) 'name not understood'. But I'm not sure where to implement #name - presumably an instance method in Class - or how to implement it. A "real" Smalltalk has a 'name' inst var on Class, but here in RL 'self class' is..something internal.
Please advise.
Thanks,
