Could you double-check that, please? Maybe it's different in your
release of Squeak, but I get a true value.

You're sending that message to Point, a class, rather than to an
instance of Point. The class doesn't respond to abs, but an instance
should.

  (3 at 2.5) respondsTo: #abs.   "true"
  (3 at 2.5) respondsTo: #basicNew.    "false"

Hope this helps!
