Re: [Pharo-users] Could Pharo be more idiot-proof?
Open a new workspace. In the title bar there is a small black triangle (Window menu). Close to the end, you should find âPrevious contents' With a bit of luck, it should be there Ben On 03 Feb 2014, at 11:35, PBK Research <peter@pbkresearch.co.uk> wrote:

As a supplementary point, I am trying to use PetitParser to parse natural language. From the examples it is clear that PP is designed with formal languages in mind. Am I wasting my time using it on natural languages? Has anyone else tried this?
Thanks for any advice

Ben Brilliant! Many thanks, it's all there! I just need to find my way around Pharo - there is so much there.
