Er...you shouldn't need to set a preference. := is valid Squeak Smalltalk.

Do you mean you want to *display* all assignments using :=?

If you're browsing with pretty print, any ":="s you type in will show up
as "_"s. But that doesn't change the actuall source. AFAIK, there's no
preference to reverse this display bit, but you can easily modify
AssignmentNode>>printOn:indent:. Just change the ' _ ' to ' := ' in the
second to last line.
