Hi mstram,

What's the trick / catch ... if there is one for invoking a class method from a workspace?
I created a Class "MikeTest".
- Added an instance method : "imethod"
MikeTest >> imethod ^ 'I am an instance method'
- Added a Class method
MikeTest class>>cmethod ^ 'I am a class method'
Then in a workspace :
t := MikeTest new. t imethod (alt-p) -->> 'I am an instance method' (As expected)
t cmethod (alt-p) gives 'MessageNotUnderstood'

The debug trace has 'UndefinedObject>>Doit' ... which seems strange to me ... does that mean the workspace doesn't understand how to send a class method ???
The line with UndefinedObject>>DoIt is how the compiler invokes the expression when you do (alt-p). When you select that line, you can see your expression decompiled. So, no problem.
The other question was answered by Edgar.

Puzzled (again).
