I left one step out.

Before you can do the next step, below, you have to remember the just-created
list-entry.  So Shift+right click on the list entry and select "manage
views...".  Place the mouse-pointer into the first black-box of the message,
"Remember view as: [ ] for all kinds of: [ ]" so that the box highlights green.
   These black boxes are "parameter-holders" for invoking messages that require
parameters.

Now type 'list entry' INCLUDING the quotes in the left box.  You may drop any
object or type any valid Smalltalk expression into them.  You may click in the
right box to select DirectoryEntry.  Because both boxes are populated, the
message is automatically executed.  You may now close this "dialog" by pressing
"x" while the outer blue box is highlighted.

NOW, you may do this step, below..
