So, I'm going through this tutorial and one of the examples has:
answer _ FillInTheBlank request:'Give me cookie !!! (please)'.
However, when I go to find the method "request", it's no where to be found ... at least, *I* can't find it.
Welcome to the mysteries of classes and instances! ;-)
I bet you were looking in the "instance" protocol? That is, the messages understood by *instances* of a certain class.
When you look at your example above, you are sending the message request to the *class* FillInTheBlank. (just select the word FillInTheBlank and inspect it)
To see the class methods of a class in the browser click on the "class" button underneath the class list.
