Hi diego

I do not have the time to look carefully, but is it the equivalent of 
the displayString in VisualWorks?
In VW you have printString for "looking at the object in the debugger, 
inspector" and displayString to get a
string when the object is displayed in list.

What is the difference between asStringOrtext and printString? If this 
is the VW displayString intention maybe we should
call it in a similar way to convey its precise intent and fix the 
widgets.
