Subbu,

Thanks it did help,  I got it to work, but I don't understand the following
and not sure if it is a bug in Squeak or in my head.
I ran the three commands below in a workspace and don't understand why the
first one failed

Transcript show: 2.54343  printShowingDecimalPlaces: 2   - Failed Message
Not Understood
t2 := 2.54343 printShowingDecimalPlaces: 2 - OK
Transcript show: t2 - OK showed 2.54 in Transcript
