I recently loaded Magma into my image to play around with, following the Getting Started Guide at:

http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2689

I looked around for some more documentation or code examples but was not able to find any.  Can someone point me to sample programs that illustrate how Magma is used?

Thanks,

Paul

PS:  There may be a few errors or ommissions in the Getting Started guide.  After creating the sample repository with,

  MagmaRepositoryController
    create: 'c:\myMagmaFolder'
    root: Dictionary new

the guide explains that in single user mode, one can use the new obejct store by executing

  myMagmaSession := MagmaSession openLocal: 'c:\myMagmaFolder\myRepository.magma'.
  myMagmaSession connectAs: 'chris'

I got a traceback when I tried the above.  I got it working only after trying

  myMagmaSession := MagmaSession openLocal: 'c:\myMagmaFolder'.
  myMagmaSession connectAs: 'chris'

Ie, the MagmaSession class>>openLocal: method takes a directory name rather than a particular '.magma' element.
