    class Inner
    --
    End class
End class


all normall scope rules arre valid in this cunstruction ( unlike outer
classes a inner class can be marked as private )
Nested classes serve a variety of purposes example : encapsulate data inside
the class that uses them and avoid making them visible to other parts of the
application
( the inner class should in this situation be marked with private scope )


if other than private the nested class is visible to the outside usin the
dot syntax

dim Obj as new Outer.Inner()

for an object oriented coder inner classes are especially handy for grouping
purposes   ( the same as you might do now  with namespaces )



so i hope i have shined some light on the subject
