[Newbies] Newbie Image Blowout
Ok so this is kind of a Seaside Question, but also kind of a Newb question. I'm going to ask it here because I think it's mostly a newbie problem. I created a seaside app, that seemed to hang the smalltalk process. When I hit the URL the page never rendered, and the image seemed to freeze up. In fact it brought my Mac pretty much to it's knees. I assume some kind of infinite loop sucked up all the swap space. Subsequent restarts of the image showed the same behavior. In the end I seem to have ended up corrupting my image, by forcing a quit in the middle of a save that was taking forever. So now when I try to restart my Squeak/Seaside image, I get the message: Read failed or premature end of Image file. after that image, the Squeak process crashes. I think I'm kind of in a bad place. I've done development over the course of several days. Have I lost all that work? Is there any kind of journal file that might have changes to the image? How badly am I toasted when my image goes south like this? Should I be making copies of the image as an additional protection strategy?

[Newbies] body tag in seaside
I've made a casual examination, and I can't quite figure out which component creates the body tag. Of course I want to be able to set the class, but what I'd really like is for someone to point me to a place where I can read about how to do this?

[Newbies] Removing a method...
I'm working with the SeaSide Squeak Image. 5.8-578. Try as I might to be prefect. Sometimes I make a mistake and create a method with a signature it shouldn't have. So I try to use the Refactor Method- remove, menu selection. When I do this, I get a waring about Browse References. If I say no, nothing seems to happen. I I say yes, I get a References To: browser with pointers to other classes where a method (message?) with the same signature is used However, none of those references will ever be to my class, they are made against classes that already exists. I don't want to touch those references, but I do want to remove my method. How do I do that? It's totally not clear to me.

[Newbies] Total newb...
Ok, so I'm really new to smalltalk. I've done a few basic tutorials and have a simple understanding of the syntax. My pervious programing experience is mostly java/C with a bit of Objective C in the mix. I'm trying to figure out how to do what seems like a simple thing. I have a set, I'd like to find out if an object exists in the set. In a general form. Let's use the a relatively simple case. Assume I have classes Rock Paper and Scissors. validHands := Set new. validHands add: Rock new; add Paper new; add Scissors new. Assume I have a player object which responds to the method throwsAHand with an instance of Rock Paper or Scissors. how do I craft validHands contains: aPlayer throwsAHand I know that contains: takes a block, and that this isn't correctly done.. but I'm trying to get the a handle on how to do this. The intent is to return a boolean, that indicates if the object the player threw is in the Set of valid objects that can be thrown.
