	OK ! After doing the complete BankAccount example, now these things 
are more clear for me. But I still can't understand why the fact of 
giving a name to an object is so complex....

	Yes, but... it depends on the existence of Shell.... and, if it 
is not registered into the globals, no messages can be sent to him.

	Probably because of my english.

	Ok. I think that all objects must have a name (*). The only way to 
give a name to an object in Self is creating a 'creator method' in other 
object (globals or traits, as I learn yesterday, if you want to send 
messages to this object).

	But why you have to do all this work ?

	Why not a slot 'name' into the object, created automatically with 
him ?   - with, if you want, the contents of "an object" by default -.


	I can't understand why the name of an object is linked with the 
visibility of him.


	Salud !

(*) At lest they have an OID (object identification), although they are 
named as 'an opbject'.
