    ABSTRACT:: An explicit representation of the problem solving method of
               an expert system shell as abstract control knowledge provides
               a powerful foundation for learning. This paper describes the
               abstract control knowledge of the Heracles expert system
               shell for heuristic classification problems, and describes
               how the Odysseus apprenticeship learning program uses this
               representation to automate "end-game" knowledge acquisition.
               Particular emphasis is given to showing how abstract control
               knowledge facilitates the use of underlying domain theories
               by a learning program.
