Well, coming from Smalltalk I'm pretty used to looking things up in the
/SystemDictionary/ and the class tree. In Self I found /globals/, but for
the rest I must grasp the concepts of /prototypes/, /traits/ and /mixins/ to
get around. I think I found "Show traits family" too late, after reading the
"Self Handbook" PDF as mentioned in the Self blog lately. I use Self's
outliners like Smalltalk's inspectors  and enjoy their livelyness a lot.

I'm not so sure about proper recipes for doing things. For example, when
designing a new interactive object, should I clone from frameMorph and add
slots there, or would I be better off creating a model slot object and then
add slots to complete the model and for each morph of interest?

A Self Cookbook would be nice.

regards...
