Howdy,
I am about ready to show the kids Squeak tomorrow. One thing I would
like to know how to do is how to read a .txt file that has code into a
project (is that how to 'say' what I want to do?)
I will have some examples I will want the kids to have as scripts. Say I
have a text file that has this in it.

I want to be able to read it into a script in a project like the script
project in the Worlds of Squeak.
This is a class of kids that are playing with robots. They have been
working with programming LEGO robots and with a simulator. I am
interested in taking their programs and translating them into a script
they can use in Squeak... if I can get the .txt files into scripts.
I'll put some scripts into an image and let them each have a copy of the
image if I don't find out how to go from a .txt file to a script. That
solution is better than nothing and I can do it by tomorrow :-)
