Just so. This Reference Manual is aimed at the power user. Among other
things, I am trying to learn how to use Squeak development to add
facilities to Etoys.
I am still looking for documents that explain Etoys for the classroom
teacher and the student without going behind them into Squeak development.
I have found many that begin to explain parts of Etoys, but nothing that I
consider satisfactory. For example, nothing that systematically explains
what tiles are available for Etoys programming, and the places to find
them. I know about
Object viewers
The gold chest
The function menus in some tiles
Are there more?

them, which I have named Thing1 and Thing2.)...First pass, done now.
Apparently I now know how to apply all that I know of Squeak (not a lot,
but increasing) within Etoys, by bringing up menus that allow me to
bring
up everything else.
Is there a design document for Etoys explaining what its intention is?
Am
I right in thinking that it is meant to provide a greatly restricted
programming environment on the surface, where only a few
Squeak/Smalltalk
objects and methods are available without going behind the scenes,
chosen
for younger children?
Squeak is the environment in which Etoys lives. While direct access to
Squeak is possible its of most interest to power user. Its not hard to
break the system running Squeak so access is made not easy to stumble
uppon. A broken system is quite disruptive to most lectures and
newbies.
