While in a Composition Editor, Script Editor, or the Organizer, you can display a visual part that has a window or form. Just click on Test (the Test tool) in the tool bar.
Running a Smalltalk statement
If you have ready access to the System Transcript window, you might want to run some Smalltalk code to display the part.
