Hi Folks.
You might remember that Bob, Doug and others posted these points about Squeak's recovery features a month ago (in response to my frustrated mumblings). Once again I'll ask the question:
Could we please include some information about recovering from failure situations to the top of the Readme.txt file that "ships" with a clean Squeak image?
This information is invaluable, especially to the newbies that sometimes make disastrous mistakes and then save them.
Thanks!

How do I find what I have added/changed? Sometimes after an extended session you forget and save the image.
The top three items in the useful expressions list are:
Smalltalk recover: 5000. ChangeList browseRecentLog. ChangeList browseRecent: 2000.
These will tell you just about anything you want to know about what you have been doing.
Also, probably the most organized way of looking at classes/methods that you've changed is to use a Change Sorter... select "open..." then "simple change sorter" from the World Menu. By default, all of your changes will appear in a "changeset" called something like Unnamed1. You can then save these changes to a separate file, etc. Also see the other items in the "changes..." submenu.
