Hello Steven,
I also tried in vain to find some info how Classes.m work. I also gave 
up trying to understand the complicated code.
Further, I did not like much the feature that you have to define each 
method inside the class definition.
Therfore I was looking for an other implementation of OOP. I found:
http://library.wolfram.co.jp/infocenter/Conferences/5773/
from:  	Orestis Vantzos
This implementation seems to me much more usefull and it is much simplier.
The only small draw back is that you have to extract the code from a 
presentation.
