If you select an object on a form and then select classbrowser from the menu, you get the class library open. Frankly, I don't want to see this normally, only by exception. I try very hard to not be debugging multilple inheritence levels at a time. The catalog manager is probably also a good tool. Am trying to learn how to use that better.

I don't see how #1 and #2 are different, so probably I'm missing something.

VFP 7.0 does show you this in design time. Which class you inherit from. That's very nice and helpful, IMO.
>At design time, for example, if we could right click on an object and select a "Code Hierarchy" option, and have a "Code hierarchy window" (similar to the current code window) where we could choose a method and then have the system show us (read-only) the code in order of execution.
See my point above about the Class Browser. I realize it's not really what you're looking for.
I suggest that you post each wish seperately to
