One more thought about RPackage. I think one of the things that everybody confuse, even myself are packages vs categories.
And it is not only us, but the system it self.

There is a package called Tools.
So..why PACKAGEInfo let me do this:� (PackageInfo named: 'Tools-Base') classes
that should be an error. 'Tools-Base' is NOT a package, it is a category.

I don't know how RPackage deals with it, but I just mention...

I don't know where the rename happens if it is UI or model....but in case it is the model (PackageInfo or RPackage) �I would love to have that fixed in RPackage.

Yes it will because this is a pain.
Probably we should solve it also in MC. May be this is fixed in Squeak. Did you check?
I should go over the MC change made by chris but I should find time to do it.
