Hi Ian,

The following snippet should get you started:

| error sourceCode ast |
error := nil.
sourceCode := '3 + 4. 5'.
ast := [
 	Parser new
 		parse: sourceCode
 		class: UndefinedObject
 		noPattern: true
 		notifying: nil
 		ifFail: nil ]
 	on: SyntaxErrorNotification
 	do: [ :e | error := e ].
error
 	ifNil: [ ast explore ]
 	ifNotNil: [ error explore ]
