Hi Norbert,
Thanks for the feedback.
Just to clarify the terms.
When we mention verbs related to Pier manipulation, we refer to
commands. So, to edit a page means to invoke the Edit command on that
page. When we refer to other types of edits we typically name them
(e.g., Settings, Edit Design).
Related to Document/PRDocumentWidget, the first refers to the way a
regular user sees the widget in the Pier UI (when choosing the
component class), and the second refers to the name of the Smalltalk
class.
I understood that you were taking a user point of view, so I am
actually confused about how you see PRDocumentWidget in the drop down
list when selecting the component class.
Cheers,
Doru

Hi Norbert,
Just embed the document in the environment and you will get an extra
place to fill text in when you edit a page with that environment.
Thanks, but it is really hard to understand what you are writing.
For me as a user of pier "the document" has no meaning. For me it
would be "embed a PRDocumentWidget component into the environment".
And the phrase "when you edit a page" is right but for me there are
so many ways to edit things in pier I didn't figure out you mean
"_the_ Edit" :)
And while I didn't expect it on the same page where I edit the
contents of a page I overlooked the extra textinput field the first
time.
thanks again,
Norbert

Yes, the PRDocumentWidget is the right thing. I
don't know its

on GemStone, but it is already quite an old plugin.

I can't find any 'Document" in my pier installation. I added
+document+
in my environment but the only thing I could select is a
PRDocumentWidget nothing else with document in it. And there
is no instance of PRComponent that is called 'Document'. Is
this something very new? I'm on gemstone so this should be
pier 1.1, right?
