This is very helpful in that I now know that there is no point in looking for OO concepts, since they are not present. I suppose the corollary is that I'll have to settle for what functionality I can get, and instead be a bit economic about the efforts to obtain what OO functionality or emulations I want; most of the efforts will be futile.

Thank you very much.
