Yoshiki,

Thank you for your advice.

I will no doubt follow your advice and have an explore of the menus, which I 
should have done by now.
There is so much to learn about SmallTalk and Squeak and I am attacking it 
from several directions at once at the moment until I settle down at get to 
the stage to do some actual useful coding exercises.

Is that really necessary ? The parser is not really that interesting or 
complex a problem domain. The System Compiler and VM are really the areas I 
want to study. I am interested to looking at SmaCC at some point when I am 
ready for it though.

Okay will do.

Thank you,
