Hi again-

I fired this code up and it seems to work :-) problem solved!!

   package require XOTcl;
        namespace import -force xotcl::*
   

Object kitchen
# Peter enters the kitchen to cook
kitchen set persons(cook) Peter
# Marion enters the kitchen to take one of the seats
kitchen set persons(seat1) Marion
kitchen array names persons
kitchen array get persons

...cant seem to get ASED output to copy. There probably is a way.

Here is the output of the last command anyways.
cook Peter seat1 Marion
