The manual includes all methods defined in a class.  An object responds
to methods in a class and its superclasses.

You're more likely to find interesting methods in FilePath than in File.

http://www.gnu.org/software/smalltalk/manual-base/html_node/FilePath_002dtesting.html
includes more messages than the URL you found, because for example
FilePath can implement isRelative as

   ^self isAbsolute not

I'll add a list of inherited methods in each category to the manual, as
time permits.
