Hi, David is right. In Windows Alt is the key. In my somewhat modified stock 4.5 on Cog and Windows XP. Cheers Herbert (phone) <div>-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht --------</div><div>Von: "David T.

Hi Mayuresh, It may be that the control keys are mapped differently on the Windows VM. I think there is an INI file to control this on Windows, but first try doing alt+D instead of Ctrl+D and see if that works. The example you gave above works for me in MVC, but I'm running on Linux, so that's why I suspect that it may be just key mapping.

Squeak : 4.5 : MVC environment : still broken ...
by Mayuresh Kathe 21 Oct '14

Hello, I finally got myself a Windows 7 license so that I could get around to running the latest and greatest Squeak. I just tried out the MVC environment with the browser, workspace and transcript open, and simply issuing the following; Transcript show: 'Hello, World!'. and hit Ctrl+D. Got no result. Even issuing "Transcript clear." has no effect on clearing the messages generated by "Save image" operation (while exiting). Anything I could do to help anyone make MVC functional again? ~Mayuresh PS: I am still in a newbie-ish mode.

I can't find any HTTPSocket examples.
by Mytts 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

So I'm doing a schoolproject in which we have to modify scratch, which is done using squeak. The problem is the teacher thought it was made in python (Because that's how you add mods) and as such we suddenly have a somewhat rushed assignment in a language we have no experience with. The problem isn't we really don't have time to learn the smalltalk and the modication is not very heavy, so I originally hoped to just find a few examples of how to do stuff and mostly just modify them to our needs. What I'm trying to achieve is relatively simple, calling a .php file on our server. It doesn't take any arguments and doesn't return anything, so I simply just need the server to realize the script is getting called. I originally wanted to do it using HTTPClient, but my squeak doesn't seem to have this library. I found HTTPSocket however and it seemed to be able to do the job just fine, except I have no idea how to use the class. Everything I try I just get a different error and I'm not sure where to go from here. So any example or just help on how to use the instance/class would be highly appreciated. An attempt I have tried is this one: CallingPHP "Used to upload the game" | | HTTPSocket httpGet: 'http://shgamecrew.dk'. It seems like HttPSocket doesn't need to be instantiated from what I've gathered, so I thought this would be enough, but alas it seems not. I get a PrimitiveFailed error (Which I have also no idea what means). -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/I-can-t-find-any-HTTPSocket-examples-tp4781987.html Sent from the Squeak - Beginners mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

The purpose of the All-In-One is to be *accessible* to the widest possible audience. This new structure makes it not very user-friendly for new Squeak users using Windows or Linux. Before, everything was in the root folder, and Windows users would recognize "squeak.exe" while Linux users would recognize "squeak.sh". Mac users had whatever they needed. Now, are you saying those folks are supposed navigate down into the ./Squeak-4.5-All-in-One.app/Contents/hostDependentNonMac directory to look for the executable and .sh file? Wait, I'm not seeing squeak.sh at all anywhere.. We probably need to discuss this. I'm not sure I understand the point of an All-In-One that is as hard for a new user to figure out as simply downloading the individual pieces or maybe 3 separate downloads one per OS or maybe just go back to the old All-In-One format but call it Windows/Linux make Mac separate..? > > I imagine there will be differing opinions about where that stuff > should go and what it should be called, but in the meantime I made a > choice, fixed the start.sh script for Linux, signed the app, and put it > at [2]. > > > thanks, > > -C > > [1] http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5290 > [2] http://bit.ly/1CBwx1I (Dropbox) > > -- > Craig Latta > netjam.org > +31 6 2757 7177 (SMS ok) > + 1 415 287 3547 (no SMS) > >
