Did you try the tutorials at http://squeak.org/documentation/index.html
?

Wolfgang Kreutzer's tutorial might be the right thing for you.

But, to answer your question:

Squeak has only a few different kinds of messages:

unary, no argument, just the message (like "array size")
binary like + - etc where the second object is the argument (like in
"3+4" )
keyword
these are the ones you are asking about

array at: 1
array at: 1 put: 2
Array with: 1 with: 2 with: 3 with: 4

You define the messages in the browser like in the following examples:

at: aKey put: aValue
	"do something interesting here"

or

with: arg1 with: arg2
	"do something interesting here"

etc.
