I don't have experience with POP-11, but I can tell you that the entry in
this list for Smalltalk was incorrect...

      Smalltalk:  You send the message shoot to gun, with selectors bullet
   and foot.  A window pops up saying Gunpowder doesNotUnderstand: spark.
   After several hours fruitlessly spent browsing the methods in Trigger, 
   FiringPin and IdealGas, you create ShotFoot, a subclass of Foot with
   a new instance variable bullet hole.
