alice-teacher Deriving classes?

[Phil Tessier]

OK, I see it now... that video shows moving procedures from one project
into another. He says "into a class that may or may not already exist" (in
the importing project). But, so far, I haven't seen a way to make a new
class, so this technique doesn't _create_ classes (as I had expected).
That said, *is there* a way to make my own classes?

Thanks again,
Phil
