I saw that a few days ago when you announced "Squeak on Fire"
and during the weekend I will look into that.

There was a tree control in an earlier version of the MVC tool builder,
but for some reason it got lost. A preliminary version is still available
here:

http://www.bgaertner.gmxhome.de/ToolBuilderMVC.htm

I thought that this was also placed an SqueakSource, but I cannot
find it there - perhaps I do not remember that correctly at all.

Greetings,
