Chris,
Thanks. Starting over from a fresh method entry pane and typing without copying worked. Maybe my WinVista OS and keyboard are acting up inserting bad characters. When I attempt to close and restart Squeak part of my keyboard goes bad putting up "3" instead of typed "l" for example, unless I reboot the computer between Squeak sessions.

Are you sure you're in the method-entry pane and not the class-definition pane? You ahve to select a method or method-category to enter a new method.
Teh other possibility is you have a bad character in the text. If so, I would just delete all that text and re-type your code. Select "cancel" on the text menu. Or, you could press Command+a followed by Backspace.

When programming I sometimes encounter a situation where the method entry pane stays in error mode so anything I type or copy in, even perfectly
