[Cuis] Menu 'Help' / 'Useful expressions' text window --> workspace?

[H. Hirzel]

Thank you Juan for adding my example script for unloading the tests.
This is surely something I will have forgotten in 4 weeks and it is
very handy to still have it then.

The other things are useful as well. In particular the expression for
finding method names. I am now used to the search box in Squeak and
have been missing this a lot.


    Symbol selectorsContaining: 'rsCon'.

is a useful workaround.


I copy in the content of the 'Useful expressions' workspace as it is
of now below.

I added comments and suggestions for more expressions (marked with >>>>>)

Kind regards
