You bet! I say that and am reading it. However, I'd like to follow
along with the examples shown, like in:

http://selflanguage.org/_static/tutorial/Tutorial/Language/ObjectsAndSlots/ExamplesOfSlots.html

Take the first image on that page - how do I get _that_ to happen. Is
there a page that documents- step-by-step - how this bank account
example is put together? Otherwise, I bring up the Self VM, and now I
have no clue what to do next.
