+ Note about importing String objects from Squeak: 
+	
+To make sure Strings can be moved from Squeak use 
+           aString utf8Encoded 
+to convert the strings to ByteArrays in Squeak before you export the object collection.
+
+In Cuis you need to do then
+           UnicodeString fromUtf8Bytes: aByteArray
+to get them back.
