[BUG] File-list buttons & menus broken

In 3.3a, after the file-list-registry code is in (update 4684,) the
"file in" and "file in to new" buttons in a (morphic) file list no
longer work -- hitting either one causes an error.
Also, the wording and the functioning of the menu items of the "all
possible file operations" menu (which you get by choosing more...
from the file-list menu) have not been brought into conformity with
the revised wordings and protocols.
So in this "all possible file operations" menu you see the old
wordings, and nearly all of the choices drop you into debuggers.
Most of the errors relate to numerous methods (27, in fact) from the
former FileList protocol that got removed by update 4684, even though
they still had senders in the image.
To anyone wishing to contribute to fixing these up (we should of
course first wait to hear from Stephane about this,) I would suggest
first making certain that the #thoroughSenders preference is set to
true (as it should be for any serious development work in Squeak
anyway) and then pointing a Change Sorter at update 4684, and from
there looking at the senders of every method *removed* from FileList
by that update (just click on the method name in the selector-list,
and hit cmd-n.) Each such query (e.g. for browseFile, fileInAll,
fileInSelection, openAsFlash) will result in a senders browser,
showing methods that may need to be fixed up because of the protocol
changes to FileList.
