Eliot Miranda uploaded a new version of Tools to project The Trunk:
http://source.squeak.org/trunk/Tools-eem.999.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: Tools-eem.999
Author: eem

UUID: 53fd9116-3cf5-43db-ad0d-150e7f41efd3
Ancestors: Tools-mt.998

Add a preference for automatic variable declaration in a Workspace (true by default).  Many people love this feature; I hate it :-)

  A Workspace is a text area plus a lot of support for executable code.  It is a great place to execute top-level commands to compute something useful, and it is a great place to develop bits of a program before those bits get put into class methods.
  
  To open a new workspace, execute:
  
  	Workspace open
  
  
  A workspace can have its own variables, called "workspace variables", to hold intermediate results.  For example, if you type into a workspace "x := 5" and do-it, then later you could type in "y := x * 2" and y would become 10.
  
  Additionally, in Morphic, a workspace can gain access to morphs that are on the screen.  If acceptDroppedMorphs is turned on, then whenever a morph is dropped on the workspace, a variable will be created which references that morph.  This functionality is toggled with the window-wide menu of a workspace.
  
  
  The instance variables of this class are:
  
  	bindings  -  holds the workspace variables for this workspace
  
  	acceptDroppedMorphs - whether dropped morphs should create new variables!
