</span>Huh? If I explore, say, Smalltalk, and select the "root" row of the<br>
explorer, then I can evaluate any expressoins I want in the context of<br>
the selected object, Smalltalk.<br>
<br>
Likewise, I can directly access the selected objects instVars. For<br>
example, while the root is selected I can evaluate "globals class" and<br>
it tells me its an Environment.<br>
<br>
The problem, whether I'm in an Explorer or an Inspector, is the new<br>
Shout color rendering is rendering instVars in the color I've chosen<br>
for "invalid" (in the Shout style table).<br>
<br>
See picture. I style my "invalid" code an ugly magenta, so it stands<br>
out. But I don't want that when its not invalid, of course..<br>
