You need to instantiate and show a single or multi-line UIKit text  
instance.  When the user taps
in that he gets the keyboard up for typing.  After he completes the  
data entry and signals to the user
he is done you take the NSString instance from the widget and stick  
back into the squeak image.

For example see.

There is no interface in the Squeak VM iPhone app for doing this,  
there is a test case in the Sunits that
someone could adopt if they want to purse on device editing. But  
usually you use the VNC server logic
to interact with the image via a desktop computer.

Some of the complexity is that if you don't want "return" to signal  
completion of the entry, then you must
add a toolbar, non-trival, to let the user say he is done or to cancel  
the edit.
