Inspecting objects from other tool windows

You can inspect objects from many of the other tool windows. For example, from the apropos window you can double-click a symbol to inspect it. You can then double-click any of the symbol's components to inspect that component.

Figure 4-3 shows a typical use of the Inspector with the apropos window. The user first searches in the apropos window for window-close; apropos shows the symbol window-close and several other symbols.

Double-clicking window-close opens an Inspector window showing the print name and package of the symbol window-close. You can inspect any of the objects in the window by double-clicking that object.

The user double-clicks the package #<PACKAGE "CCL"> to inspect that package.
