Thanks Subbu,

As you mentioned, I tried the CNGBTextConverter existing in Squeak4.1 and I
assume that it will invoke the languageEnvironment to
SimplifiedChineseEnvironment, am i right?

I tried following code like:
 (MultiByteFileStream fileNamed: 'file.txt')
               converter: (CNGBTextConverter new);
               contents.

And it still doesn't work, does it mean i need to import some fonts for it
or other ways?

Also another question is in Squeak4.1 what could i do to make sure the the
language environment I use is chinese or some others?

My understanding now in Squeak4.1 that the default language is UTF8 or
Unicode, where could i do the switch?

I am just a beginner on Squeak Smalltalk, please correct me if I make any
mistakes on understanding
