minor issues

- This tip could be extended: You can associate an individual method of a
class with a package other than that in which its class resides. Such
methods are termed 'loose methods' _and are shown in Red in the CHB_.

- When inspecting a big array in Flipper and modifying values, after
modification of the value in the value pane, the selected line in the
Published Aspects list jumps to the bottom of the screen. Can't it stay
where it is?

I would add where it appears red, otherwise, a newbie might be confused,
expecting to see something different in the source pane.  Worse, if they
expect the source to turn red, they might not want to use loose methods???
It might be better to keep it simple in the tips, and let the user go the
help for a detailed description, complete with a picture of what to expect.

Have a good one,

Bill

Good point, yeah the wording could have been done better; _and are shown in
the methods list in Red_
