howdy all--

well, i'm a (relative) newbie and i have a few questions that i hope some of
your can help me with...

when looking at a new piece of Squeak code, how do YOU get the gist of it?
More specifically...

How do you quickly find out what class variables in methods are (e.g.
instance and class variables)? #self i can deal with, but how do ya quickly
find out what some of the objects composed within the code are so you know
which messages they accept?

and what's the quickest way to find where instance/class variables are
assigned values?

is there any (quick) way of seeing ALL of a class' inherited class/instance
variables?

in short, i just wanna know how you guys "get" (how the code fits in the big
picture) a piece of code...

thanks to ya all!
jason
