Hi C�drick,

Indeed, this is something that one needs from time to time. However, I
wonder, from a usability point of view, if this is the right way to do
it. The problem is that without explaining someone what the menu item
"Buffer it" does and how to use it (e.g., to evaluate "self buffer")
it makes this feature hard to understand.

I think the idea is good, but how could it be made easy to understand
and use?

Cheers,
Adrian

BTW, the same effect can also be achieved by assigning the object to a
global, e.g., "Buffer := self at: 4" and then in the popup select
"declare global" if Buffer is not a global yet.
