ok. context for frame 5
Dictionary>>at:put: @3 line 9
--------------------
.         -> Dictionary>>at:put: @3 line 9
(context) -> aGsNMethod
(self)    -> aDictionary( )
aKey      -> nil
aValue    -> spec repository: nil
anAssoc   -> nil
hashVal   -> nil
.t1       -> aDictionary( )

.... based on my own poking around, its adding a new member spec with a
name=nil
when I explore (dive?) into the MetacelloAddMemberSpec instance, everything
is nil except for the project & spec, but their instvars are also all nil

Do you have any docs for tode?   - in particular the configuration.
Currently I find it rather clunky because I dont know most of the shortcuts.
but the 2 main annoyances:
1) how to shut off the auto code formatter?  it makes a hash of my code
whenever I accept a method.  I looked in the image settings but could not
find anything.
2) how to re-map "paste" to the normal Control+V instead of Alt+V  -- im
copying & pasting code from VW into tode

A "nice to have" -- update the method list window after creating accessors

The auto-window layout is nice.  But I wish I could tell it where to place
the various windows.  I frequently wind up with 3-4 Hierarchy windows on
top of each other.  It would be nice if they would all tile within their
designated space.
But -im hoping a working project browser will let me browse stuff by
category instead of having to deal with several of the Hierarchy browsers.

The folder layout paradigm (.  vs ..) for the inspector window is neat once
you get used to it.

And lastly - how can i get the image to save the set of open windows when
im done for the day?
