Hi.

Transcript show: 'something' implicitly runs a world cycle to update the ui,
though in a non-obvious manner!

Try the following:


y := 100.
offset := 20.
3 timesRepeat: [
	t := TextMorph new openInWorld.
	t contents: 'hi'.
	t position: 100 at y.
	World doOneCycleNow. "update the ui"
	y := y + offset.
	(Delay forSeconds: 1) wait.
]

Hope this helps.
