Squeak 3.10 - Syntax Error window


Hi Frank,

How did you set your breakpoint. What did the code
look like before and after.

It looks like some how you interupted a line of code
and the parser starting in the middle threw up its
hands when it came upon an unmatched ")". :-)

Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace
