It's there when you're debugging -- it means that if you hover over
the symbol, a tool-tip-like thing will appear which allows you to
inspect the value of the symbol.
2. Also when I mouse over a method, a little down arrow appears to
the left of the statement, but if I try to move the mouse to it, it
disappears as soon as I move off the method call. It sort of looks
like the Step Into icon. How do I use that?
It's a sort of contextual menu, like the data detectors in mail that
tell you a name or date has been recognized. If you move the mouse
over the arrow *without* moving out of the dotted outline, you can
click to get a menu. However, it's incredibly irritating to prevent
the mouse from wandering outside the outline, so it's actually easier
to right-click -- you get a much longer context menu, but at least you
get it.
