Trouble with File in and File out

Can't seem see the menu that has the 'File in' option after selecting a file in
the file browser. I have tried every combination of mouse button configurations
on both my mac book and my PC with no luck.
Please help

I see it with the right button context menu when clicking on the file
name on the top right pane.

The list menu is dependent on the kind of file selected: File-in options are available only after selecting a VisualWorks source code file (*.cha, *.st, *.pst). But then you have a nice set of options:

The toolbar has a button to load the selected thing (parcel-in vs. file-in). Look for the notepad icon with the "+".
Other toolbar buttons allow to inspect the file contents in a ChangeList, either all or just the different stuff (very convenient).
The menu offers to file-in into a ChangeSet. Pretty much outdated, but still practical for developers who are used to it.

Cheers

And there is also the non-gui fallback:
'path' asFilename fileIn.

Which is what I do when the UI wont cooperate.
