I updated the manual.

Done. In the new manual (for 3.1) FilePath is a superclass of File, so
you'll see most of the methods you want under

http://www.gnu.org/software/smalltalk/manual-base/html_node/FilePath.html#FilePath


so all these are part of FilePath not File?

http://www.gnu.org/software/smalltalk/manual-base/html_node/File_002dtesting.html#File_002dtesting

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.


Ok, so the manual should have all inherited methods ( I assumed the opposite ) but that isnt done across the board. Am I correct on that? Just want to make sure. As long as that is the case, I'll stop pointing them out.
