Samir,

Thanks for the feedback. I think that the problem you are having with
"ByteSymbol(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #key" is due to some kind of
mismatch between your Squeak 3.8 image and the VMMaker package. There
are some changes to the String classes in 3.8 that lead to the problem
(I don't recall the details). If you try using a Squeak 3.7 image
instead of 3.8, I think the problem will go away.

(I remember that there was an explanation of how to work around
this on a 3.8 image, but I can't remember where I saw it. Perhaps
someone else can give the right answer to this?)

Wow, that's a good one! I think I got bitten by a bug that was
in the Swiki html editor. It looks like all instances of '!' were
replaced by '!!' on this page. The page should say this:

   CommandShell command: 'Time dateAndTimeNow! | edit; exit'

I've fixed the page now. Thanks for pointing this out.
