GOAL:
What is an Instance
FIX:
1) A run-time implementation of some object, such as a widget or persistent procedure.
2) In the Translation Manager, one or more occurrences of a string in a procedure that share common justification and maximum length characteristics. For example, each line in the String Instance Information field of the Translation Manager window represents an instance of the string displayed in the Native field. The current instance is the currently selected line in the String Instance Information field.
3) A copy of a SmartObject running in memory.
4) In object-oriented programming, a specific object allocated in memory that represents a class. A class is unique, but you can normally create an unlimited number of instances that are members of a particular class. The memory allocation for an instance is typically only enough for the instance's data; all instances of an object type share the same executable code.
