When I was new Squeak, Halos were critical to my learning how things worked
under the covers. Typically it went something like this...
1. "Hmmm.... how do I make my own program do X? "
2. "Oh, there's a menu item that does something similar".
3. On that menu item using Halos > Debug > Inspect, dig in to find which
code block is executed. Insert a "self halt" there.
4. Make use of the menu item, then in the debugger that appears, trace
through to learn how it works.
