And once again I turn to net.wizards in search of that elusive newsgroup eternal.truth :) I'm a Smalltalk "newbie" attempting to learn something about Smalltalk using Smalltalk V on a Mac. I've been going through the tutorial stuff without much problem, until today... Chapter 8 deals with the debugger - to paraphrase the manual "evaluate this code, watch the walkback window pop up - click on the 'debug' button, watch this wonderful debug window pop up" I do like I'm told like a good little ignoramus. Evaluate the code - get a walkback window. So far so good. Click on the "debug" button - get the wonderful 'Debug" window - What the #$%*? I get the debug window, allright, followed by another walkback window !! Whats going on here ? How do I debug the debugger ? What did I do wrong ? Some information for anyone who can help - Title of the 2nd walkback window "message not understood -arguments" Info in the walkback window: UndefinedObject(Object)>>error: UndefinedObject(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: Debugger>>tempList ListPane>>update ListPane(SubPane)>>update: [] in Debugger(Object)>>changed: OrderedCollection>>do: Debugger(Object)>>changed: Debugger>>walkback: Debugger>>Debug Hope that means something more to somebody than it does to me. After all, I'm only learning :) Many thanks for any assistance ! -Nick P.S. Reply by e-mail, please. I don't usually read this newsgroup (although maybe I should start:)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nick Wilde wilde@boulder.colorado.edu
