Just so. This Reference Manual is aimed at the power user. Among other things, I am trying to learn how to use Squeak development to add facilities to Etoys. I am still looking for documents that explain Etoys for the classroom teacher and the student without going behind them into Squeak development. I have found many that begin to explain parts of Etoys, but nothing that I consider satisfactory. For example, nothing that systematically explains what tiles are available for Etoys programming, and the places to find them. I know about Object viewers The gold chest The function menus in some tiles Are there more?
