Syntax:
CLASS Biped CLASS blob EXTENDS Object CLASS ape EXTENDS Biped IMPLEMENTS Sitting, Standing CLASS RexxOperators INTERFACE
Introduces a class. See 'Program Structure'.
EXTENDS names a superclass that this class extends, the default being the top of the class hierarchy ('Object'). Class 'ape' in the example is therefore a subclass of 'Biped', which is a subclass of 'Object'.
IMPLEMENTS lists one or more interface classes that this class implements (see Java documentation for a description of interfaces). The INTERFACE keyword declares a class to be an interface.
Several other keyword options are allowed:
Some keywords on the CLASS instruction should be considered experimental, or only applicable to the Java environment; they may end up being 'implementation defined'.
