When I first got Squeak last night I took a quick look at it and was quite impressed--thought it had a lot of potential not only for the project I currently want to do, but I could see possibilities for quite a few others as well. So this morning I got a copy of 'Squeak by Example', skimmed over the 'hello' and 'add two plus two' sections and started in on the first simple program 'Quinto'. Yeeeeks!! Nothing--absolutely <nothing.> --- works the way the author describes it. I did get a few things to work, but I had to piddle around (click on this, click on that) to get it done. Other than that -- whenever I follow the instructions in the book --all I get is messages telling me I did something wrong. It wasn't <me> that did something wrong here, people! I've been following instructions line by line, word by word, and letter by letter. What gives here?
