Directory class

I'm trying to use Directory class, and all I got from the info page
does not enlighten me enough to use it except as a singleton.

How do I create an instance of Directory so I can iterate the contents
of it (using #contents)?

Directory class doesn't need instance creation methods because the ones
it inherits from File class are good enough.  See that class's
documentation node.

I recently used the Directory class too, this was what I discovered
about how to use it:

You create a new instance eg. with the #name: message, and iterate via
#contents or #do:

   (Directory name: '/tmp') do: [:file| file displayNl]
