do I load a .st file in smalltalk?' Looking in the Squeak FAQ gave me this:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1105" target="_blank">http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1105</a><br>
<br>
Now that does tell me something about what a .st file is. However it doesn't tell me how<br>
to load such a piece of code. Searching further got me to this page:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/cs2340/3667" target="_blank">http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/cs2340/3667</a><br>
<br>
He tells me to just 'do': FileStream fileIn: 'C:\<a href="http://foo.st" target="_blank">foo.st</a>'<br>
<br>
( If you don't know how to 'do' something, you should probably postpone your chess<br>
adventure and read the Squeak by Example Book. Probably everyone highly recomends it. )<br>
<br>
<br>
Now you need to find a Class that you could call the 'main entry point' for the<br>
Chess program you are trying to run. Open the Class browser and search for "Chess". You<br>
could also try something as:<br>
<br>
Chess new openInWorld (which is kind of a Pattern I've seen through all Squeak UI apps.)<br>
<br>
Hope that helps a little. Don't give up.<br>
