fyi the Cincom Smalltalk IDE New Class dialog shows these fields and checkboxes—

     Name: MyClass
     Superclass: Core.Object
     Instance Variables: anInstVar anotherVar

     Create methods:
         Accessors
         Initializer
         Subclass responsibilities

"Accessors" aka getters.

See 1996 "Smalltalk with Style"

"After the creation of the class StUser, it is highly recommended that you perform automatic creation of instance variable accessors. One possible way to do this in Squeak is to use the context menu on a class among the entry more.... There, you can find create inst var accessors. Select this command to have all accessors created."
