Top left pane: File system tree where packages are located

Down left pane: Packages in the file system location selected above

Tabs:

Comment - Whatever text you put

Classes - Classes defined by the package

Loose methods - Methods in classes added by the package that are not in classes defined by the package

Resources - Objects embedded in the package (that is, serialized instances) Mainly used for window views.

Globals - Entries in the system dictionary that are defined by the package

Scripts - This tab has four subtabs: preinstall, postinstall, preuninstall, postuninstall

     These scripts where ran in the appropriate stage of installing/uninstalling the package

Prerequisites - Depending on the classes, globals, etc, referenced by the classes and methods,etc from the package, the browser determined it's dependencies and this information would be then saved in the package itself. If the package had circular dependencies, then it wouldn't allow you to save it. The prerequisites listed you the packages which yoyr package depended on and why. That is, a list of which method referenced something outside the package.

Dependents - As prerequisites, but shows the packages that depend on your package, and why

Example of Dependents:

The second dependency is created because the method references a class:

agent

"Answers the IAgentCtl for the receiver's avatars"

agent isNull ifTrue: [

agent := IAgentCtlEx new.

agent connected: true ].

^agent
