One simple way to do this is to look at the versions of your method (versions button on a browser), then revert to an earlier version and revert back. The method and its change history should now be in your current change set. Use a dual change sorter to move it or copy it between projects. > Also, how would I view a diff in "reverse" -- or in other words how > might I show the diff between the current and original?

(oh, and the "compare to version..." menu gives me a debug > box) I don't know where "compare to version..." if coming from (I'm looking at an earlier version of Squeak as I write), but this sounds like a bug. I use a "compare to current" button on a versions browser to look at the difference between an older version and the current version, or when using Monticello, this feature is available in lots of places. > Also how do I _really_ remove intermediate changes from the versions > of a method?

That said, here is one possible answer to your question: Make a change set with with the classes and methods that you are interested in. Add a preamble to document it. Save the change set (file out), then file it in to a clean image. The intermediate changes will be gone in the new image. This may seem awkward, bot note that for any non-trivial changes that you intend to distribute to someone else, you will want to test your changes in a clean image to verify that it is complete and problem free.
