Well proc is something you use if you want a procedure that exists only in that instance of an object. So if you want a procedure for class Foo which doesn't appear in instances of Foo then you use "proc". The same applies if you want to add a procedure to a single object. I must admit I don't really use it much myself but it's good to have it when you do need it, and really works with the dynamic nature of the language.
Ah! So it's somewhat analogous to static methods in Java. Except that is't dynamic. :-)
