Aida tutorial is unclear

I am working on the Aida tutorial:

http://www.aidaweb.si/tutorial

but I got stuck on the end of the second section:

In a workplace make an instance of ADemoAddressBook and fill it with a few example ADemoAddresses:

Should I add an Instance variable? I don't understand what to do in that if someone can be more clear and explain it to me? I will really appreciate it.

No, you don't have to create Instance variable (or better object), because this class probably doesn't exist.

By Wikipedia instance OF the class (not instance class) is:

a specific realization of any object. Formally, "instance" is synonymous with "object" as they are each a particular value (realization), and these may be called an instance object;

To make that more clear, please take a look on this picture:

enter image description here

"Car" is class and "polo", "mini" and "beetle" are car-type objects = so they are instances of class "car".

Coming back to SmallTalk: How to create instance of one of the classes? That is simple. You just need to use new or basicNew operator. More you can read there:
