<BR>
On Mac OS X Tiger, the equivalent of win32 executable (.exe) is .app, therefore the Squeak 3.8.6Beta6.app is the virtual machine. <BR>
<BR>
Ok, I got the hang of it now... Now what are the .pr files for and how does one use them instead of .st files and .image files?<BR>
<BR>
Do people pause / resume there work in Smalltalk loading the .pr files or the .image files or the .st files (it does seem that the .st files only contain one small source listing)....<BR>
<BR>
Many, many thanks!<BR>
<BR>
Kindest regards,<BR>
<BR>

We have a beginners group <a href="http://ar.groups.yahoo.com/group/squeakRos/.">http://ar.groups.yahoo.com/group/squeakRos/.</a><BR>
Begins as Spanish only and now have people of all world, could write in English, many beginners and some pros could answer you.<BR>
The quick answer.<BR>
In Mac OS X Tiger, you can have many directories with Squeak , several Vm, (I have 8 different in my Dock).<BR>
All VM and SqueakXYZ.sources go to Application folder.<BR>
All what you do or download from somewhere go to Squeaklets folder, and that folder is created automatic when you load or create the first .pr<BR>
The .pr is a way for having a island of your particular world for sharing with others (or with others worlds of you)<BR>
But if you know biology know what is very dangerous introduce foreign species in different habitat.<BR>
That , in Squeak , means what not always you could move all your living objects in a different .image.<BR>
No object created on 3.8 and newer could survive in older images.<BR>
Not always old loved pets from 3.6 or earlier could live in new images. (Alice, MorphicWrappers, MathMorphs, many others).<BR>
