Hi Eric,

To add to what Levente says, Usually what you would want to do is
save your changes using an existing package. For example, if you have
some changes to class PositionableStream, that class is part of the
'Collections-Streams' category in a system browser, and when you look
at the packages in a Monticello browser, this category is part of the
'Collections' package (this is all just based on naming conventions).

If your image is up to date with the trunk update stream, then your
image will be using Collections-eem.907.mcz from the trunk repository,
and the changes that you have made in your image would be relative to
that MCZ version. When you save your changes to the inbox, you would
be saving a new version called (probably) collections-EG.908.mcz.

You will save your tests separately, probably in the 'CollectionsTests'
package. It is fine to have the two separate, although sometimes it
is helpful to add something in the commit comments along the lines of
"these tests go with those changes" or "these updates in Collections
make the tests in CollectionsTests pass" just to make the connection.

Don't worry about getting this perfect (especially the first time!).
Even if there is a mistake it is usually easy for people to figure out
what the changes were and merge them at a later time.

HTH,
Dave
