[vwnc] Create class from Debugger

Abel Armoa
Hello everyone:
This is my first mail to the list, so I think that first I should introduce myself. My name is Abel Armoa, and I am a Smalltalk developer from Argentina. I started to use VW non commercial some weeks ago, for an educational project.
I am trying to get used to code from the debugger, and in general it works great. But there is one thing that looks uncomfortable to me: I can not define a new class on the go when coding in the debugger. If I reference a class that is still not defined when coding a new method in the debugger, when I accept the changes the system does not offer me the option to define the new class (I don't know the reason of this behavior, since when one is coding in the System Browser, if one references a class that has not been defined yet, the system offers one the option to define it). So whenever I tried to define a new class while debugging, I had to swith to the System Browser.
I decided to add this behavior, and after reading some methods, I understood what to change to make the 'Create Class...' option appear.

Maybe this functionality is useful to someone else, so I decided to send the changes I made to the mailing list.
If my implementation is wrong, or if someone has any comment about this change, please drop me a line. I will be glad to read your comments / suggestions.

Best regards,
Abel Armoa
