Hello,
I'm a squeak/Smalltalk novice but I've spent a number of years with various other environments: Interlisp-D, LispWorks, etc. Unfortunately, I have to admit to being extremely puzzled by the squeak debugger!
After inserting a "self halt" into a method and getting into the debugger, I'm not sure what "step" and "send" are supposed to do. When I repeatedly click on "step", nothing happens visually for a while and then finally the current position leaps forward. It's as if I'm stepping through an inner method that isn't being displayed then, when it finishes, I leap ahead to some later point in the current method. "send" is also mysterious though it _seems_ to be more like what I expect "step" to do. It appears to descend into another method.
I don't have the Smalltalk-80 book that describes the interactive programming environment. Can anyone clue me in as to what's going on?
Thanks very much,
Jerry Jackson
