Dear Pharoers, 

I'm just starting out with Pharo 6.1, and I'm trying to use code completion
to interactively explore various objects and their messages. However, I'm
having difficulties doing this efficiently - I think I must be missing
something obvious, and I hope you can point me in the right direction. 

For instance, let's say I have the below in Playground: 

'some text' asMorph 

and I would like to display the morph object as a window, but I don't know
the exact message name, or whether such a message exists at all. If I type
"Window", then the completion popup will show a long list of matching
messages, but won't show their documentation or argument names, so it will
be difficult to know exactly what these messages do. 
I can see that one can do "Do it and go" on an expression and then browse
the available messages in Meta, but maybe there is simpler/faster way? 

How would an experienced Pharo user typically go about discovering the right
messages in such situations? 

Best regards, 
Andrzej
