Why does the x := 'Transcript show: 'abc'.'. yield x := 'Transcript show: 'abc Nothing more expected ->'.'. ?
I think you are using the period as a join operator. The join operator is a comma.

I'm not trying to join anything. I want to put Transcript show: 'abc'. (including the period) into string x.
A simpler example: x := 'abc.'. puts abc. into x, so why doesn't x := ''abc'.' put 'abc.' into x (the single quotes are part of the string)?

I see.
You are looking to find the escape sequence.
I tried x := ‘Transcript show: \’abc\’.’.
But that doesn’t work.
I’m only a beginner myself. I wonder where the others are in this group?
Sincerely,
Joseph.

you have to double the quotes:
x := 'Transcript show: ''abc''.'
