[Newbies] How do you start to understand a new Squeak 'program'?

[Oscar Nierstrasz]

Hi Andy,

One useful trick is to put a "self halt." somewhere in the code you  
want to analyze.  Then when you run the code the debugger will stop at  
that point, and you can start stepping through the code.  Of course  
the debugger provides access to real objects, so you can inspect  
anything, evaluate expressions within the debugger, and modify code on  
the fly.

Hope that helps.

Oscar
