<div dir="ltr">Chris, <div><br></div><div>Thanks. Starting over from a fresh method entry pane and typing without copying worked. Maybe my WinVista OS and keyboard are acting up inserting bad characters. When I attempt to close and restart Squeak part of my keyboard goes bad putting up "3" instead of typed "l" for example, unless I reboot the computer between Squeak sessions. <div><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 4, 2016 at 2:59 PM, Chris Muller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:asqueaker@gmail.com" target="_blank">asqueaker@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Are you sure you're in the method-entry pane and not the<br>

Teh other possibility is you have a bad character in the text. If so,<br>
I would just delete all that text and re-type your code. Select<br>
"cancel" on the text menu. Or, you could press Command+a followed by<br>
Backspace.<br>
