The way it was explained to me is that OOP is doing things upside down. Instead of taking a function and throwing data at it, you take data (or an object) and throw a function at it. In otherwords, an object should be responsible for itself. For example,

? WVISIBLE("MyForm") as opposed to ? MyForm.Visible
