Hans, 

Here's a complete program which will print the numbers from 1 to 10 on the console (each on its own line):

| index |
index := 0.
[index < 10]
    whileTrue:
        [index := index + 1.
        Transcript 
             show: index printString;
             cr]

Hi Hans,

|x|
x := 100.

|x| defines a temp x.  | x y | defines both x and y as temps.

The assignment operator is :=

If you use = or == you are asking for a comparison of x and 100.

All the best,

Ron Teitelbaum
