I think he might be looking for this:

http://book.seaside.st/book/getting-started/pharo-squeak/first-component/registering

I ran into the same issue; it is decided non-obvious that the creation 
of a component on the welcome page "magically" works but that there's no 
trace in the resulting code that reveals what one must do to to perform 
the equivalent action in code somewhere (i.e., if you create the very 
same class by hand "it doesn't work").

I do understand why this stuff works the way it works but I think 
clarity could be dramatically improved by having something that makes 
the necessary registration explicit. Could be as simple as having the 
registration in the class initialization of components created on the 
welcome page - I certainly would've found that.

Cheers,
