<p>The input field IS the container. You can retrieve the user input by sending it a message, probably aTextField contents. If you really need to store that elsewhere you can do an assignment, like myName := aTextField contents. Finally, put that assignment in the method invoked by the submit button's onClick handler.</p>
<p>Sometimes it helps to remind yourself that Smalltalk is not Java. Hope this helps.</p>
