meant to go in between the two images at

To help keep classes organized, Squeak provides method
categories for each class. Method categories are sometimes
called protocols. Create a new protoocol called tests.
Right-click on the third pane (the protocol list), and select
<i> New Category -> new... </i> Enter the name "tests":

Now, create a method called testCellOnState. Like with class
creation and editing, we do this by editing the code in the
lower pane:

screenshot 042A.jpg in keeping with your naming convention, but
