In the tutorial section 6, Project View:
http://docs.adacore.com/live/wave/gps/html/gps_tutorial/project_view.html
It invites me to "Click on the triangle to open tokens.ads entities".
I don't think there is one though.
I'm using GPS 2018 on MacOS Mojave.
I have noticed on other screen capture of GNAT GPS each object in the nested folders of the project view has a little "drop down" arrow pointing to it. Bit this arrow doesn't appear on my copy.
Does anybody know a remedy?

Here (same environment) I see that in the Outline view (click on the
sideways Outline tab over on the left).
I think the tutorial is referring to a previous version of GPS? (not
2017, though)

It's the 2016 version. Will report.

OK thanks but in the meantime where do I go for a tutorial on the 2018 edition?

Sorry, but I don't know.
While following through on the tutorial accessed via the GPS help (I use
Emacs mainly, thought I ought to at least look at GPS for once!) I
noticed that
* code completion wasn't immediately triggered by typing 'scr'; had to
start it off by menu Code, Smart Completion
* to get a dialog to run the program, I had to go to Prefs, Build
Targets, Run, Run Main and change 'Launch mode' to 'Manually with
dialog'
* the build generates the executable in the object directory, which is
one below the project directory, so the input file spec is actually
'../input.txt'
* Mojave, you said? there are issues with the debugger, see
https://forward-in-code.blogspot.com/2018/11/mojave-vs-gdb.html (and
even that has problems; for me, more often than not the debugger hangs
after 'start' or 'run')
