Ok, here is the situation: I need currency support in Seaside or Squeak.
But I am new to Smalltalk and have no idea what may be 'something simpler'.
Could you please tell me some directions like 'subclass ABC and implement
methods to convert USD to $ sign preferably named convertCode:'. 
If that gonna be part of Seaside, fine.
If it is easy I will do my best to follow your directions and send back my code.
(my first contribution!) BTW I am ready to consult standards bodies to fetch
all currency symbols in UTF8 encoding! And all matched 3 letters currency codes. 
So probably it will be one class handling all associations for the planet ?

Thanks.
