Hi Russ, Do not scarry of the WorldMenu item. Any tool can appear in the WorldMenu if it has a class side method `menuCommandOn:`. Just load the code with the script that appears in the README. Look at the classes in the packages and you will see that a lot of them are children of SpPresenter. I do not know if my tools is a complete example of all Spec framework. But at least it has all the basics covered. Let me know if you have any question ð We can talk on Discord too.

Mark & Sebastian, Sebastian, the link you provided is to a RewriteToolsSet... I don't understand how this provides insights into a Spec2 solution? - but admittedly I didn't dig too deep - I saw WorldMenu items and went 'woah-stop!', lol. I'm hoping there was another link Mark referenced that perhaps didn't come through my email chain :) I REALLY want to learn how others use Spec2 in an integrated way (interconnected presenters, model refreshes, etc.). I've written 6 apps in Pharo (all with Spec2 GUI) and I still don't feel as if I'm doing things correctly. I can 'get things to work' and I'm pretty pleased with them in general, but I usually run up against the same 'refresh' issues, especially around notebooks. Esteban is a wealth of information and has been very helpful for my basic understanding - but I can envision him shaking his head at my feeble attempts and questions (just kidding Esteban!). I am VERY interested to review Spec2 code others are successfully using, so I can hopefully get past whatever brainblock I have in my Spec2 designs. ... and I would very much like to be involved in a Spec2 workshop/session/whatever! Happy Pharo-ing!

But Iâm more interested at the moment in getting on top of a more traditional application for these personal apps I want to build for my desktop PC. My needs may change of course - and Iâm sure will look at doing some web apps in the future... More importantly - YES - it is great to be back in a ST environment again , and of course it is still so very very addictive !! [ Before resuming I spent some time familiarising myself with the mainstream tools the industry seems to have adopted in the last 10-20 years. I must say I was quite surprised and even disappointed about the complexity, verbosity and incomprehensible syntax of some, and the sloppiness (or is it flexibility?) of others. I really was not keen to have to pick up one of those again. I had somehow hoped or expected that language and environment design would have been much slicker and more fully evolved by nowâ¦] Cheers Tim, and thanks for the suggestion⦠Mark -- Russ Whaley whaley.russ@gmail.com<mailto:whaley.russ@gmail.com>
