Hi Marcel,
Thanks for the change set. Unfortunately when I try to file it in the method below gets a DNU
sending: self environment. It seems Browser is missing the #environment method.
I'm using a Squeak 5.1 image. I'm willing to upgrade it and played around trying to do that
but no luck.
What am I missing?

Reorder those class names so that they are sorted and indended by inheritance"

list. Skip it for now."

And looking at the core classes like Behavior, ClassDescription and CompiledMethod will provide you with tools you can use.
