-The private members are not currently protected from outside use,
-they are just marked by a comment in the header file, this will most likely
-be somehow solved in some future version.
+Public datamembers are accessed normally as members of the object struct.
+Example where 'i' is as above a public data member:
+.nf
+
+ object->i = 1;
+
+.fi
+.PP
+The private data members are defined in a structure which is only available
+inside the .c file. You must access them using the structure _priv. Example
+where 'h' is the private data member (as in the above example):
+.nf
+
+ object->_priv->h = NULL;
+
+.fi
+Note that the _priv structure is only accessible to C code blocks below or
+inside the class definition in the .gob file. If you use it above, you will
+get a 'dereferencing incomplete pointer type' error from the C compiler.
