<br>
Welcome to the Cuis community!<br>
<br>
In Cuis, a package can not modify the definition of existing classes, or <br>
their class comment. For existing classes, these need to go in numbered <br>
ChangeSets.<br>
<br>
If you have already exited your image without saving it, chances are <br>
these changes are "lost". But you can recover them from the appropriate <br>
*.user.???.changes file.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
