Okay, Method Finder has to be the second coolest code tool ever.  I simply give an example of what I want to do and it finds it.

FYI to get to Method Finder: CMD-<comma> (CTRL-<comma> on PC, I think) -> open... -> method finder

Thanks Bert.

It's not built into Etoys.

To find the right Squeak method, open a method finder. Give it an example, e.g. "12345. '12,345'". It will look for a method with that receiver giving that result.

(this works for methods with arguments, too. E.g. try "2. 3. 8")
