Hello
I need a little help working out how to 'trace' a Squeak program. This is
the problem which started me off. I wanted to insatiate a FileList - just
to play around with it. I knew I could create one by using the icon in
the tools flap, but I couldn't work out how to create a new instance which
was visible. I tried:
tmp1 := FileList open.
tmp1 makeMeVisible
which gave me a debug window.
What I need to understand at the moment is how can I see the code which is
being called when I click on the File List icon in the tools flap, because
that is obviously creating an instance in the right way. I did try
inspecting the icon but that didn't really give me any clues.
What I am hoping is that if I can understand how an experienced squeaker
would deal with this very simple case, it will help me understand how to
learn squeak more generally
Thanks
AB
