I'm trying to replicate a hand-drawn Sequence Diagram from my OOAD instructor 
for my first Sequence Diagram. I've come across these questions, and hope 
someone can offer some advice:

1. I'm creating the Sequence Diagram initially, without creating a 
corresponding Class Diagram previously. I note that when I create and name a 
new classifier role, if I give it the name "Mustang:Car" with 
ObjectName:ClassName, it adds a final colon and doesn't underline it as an 
object name. How can I add both of these aspects? How can I create anonymous 
objects of a Class, with an initial colon?

2. Is it possible to create a reflexive action, where an object calls a method 
within itself? How?

3. My instructor shows a 'create' action as '<create>' with guillemots, like a 
stereotype. Is this possible? I couldn't even find the left and right 
guillemots characters in the GNOME Character Map accessory. Any hints on how to 
type them with a USA-ASCII keyboard?

4. I need to use 'scripts,' like comments or notes, that appear to the left of 
the first lifeline and line up vertically with the stimulus that it refers to, 
such as a note to "interate over all cars." Should I just use a freeform text 
block and manually keep it aligned?

5. My instructor states that it's easiest to read the text over stimuli arrows 
if it's aligned left. Is it possible to change this from centered?

6. My instructor drew an Actor stick-figure to represent the user of the system 
receiving prompts and inputting responses. This has a lifeline like other 
classifiers. Is it possible to create this object?

Thanks so much for your advice and work on ArgoUML. I look forward to using it 
in my class and subsequently in my work.
