Ra is located on one side of the compartment. This is slightly more computationally efficient than the symmetric counterpart. genesis > Notes: the This routine returns many pieces of information about object type, including the class, size, author, valid actions and messages, and data fields with the default values which are assigned when the object is instantiated as an element. If the field is not readable and writeable, the field is labeled (ro) if it is protected as read-only, and (hidden) if it and its contents are hidden to the user. See also: showfield, setfieldprot
