Well..only very partially :)

Depending on the code generator these may be created for you, but
otherwise you should just create them like any other operation.

Code should be generated for all the classes in the model (you can see
them all on the left hand tree view).  Send us the diagram if you are
definatly having a problem.

Coudl be tricky to do.  Why would you not just want it sized to the
text in the class widget?

autocompletion has been turned off in the CVS version.  Improved
variable types may come with the new code generation stuff.

Thanks for the feedback.
