I am currently converting my squeak project from Squeak 3.8 to Squeak 3.9. (Thanks by the way to the people who helped me installSqueak 3.9 in Linux. Note that commands 'man squeak' and 'man inisqueak' still reports the existence of a command 'inisqueak' even though the command is not to be found.)
My understanding was that as of 3.9 Squeak no longer supports use of the arrow for the assignment operator and that I must use ':='. :-( I thus expected that all my arrows would be converted to ':=' upon fileIn. But this doesn't happen. Upon investigation I found the the arrow operator still in use in the 3.9 code though it is now displayed as an underscore (which after all is what is is).
Can someone explain to me clearly the status of the underscore character for Squeak 3.9 and beyond?
Can someone explain to me how to convert my underscores to ':=' or must I write a sed script to do this?
Note that I will use the arrow until I am forced to convert to ':='.
Thanks
Ralph Boland
P.S. I am running Squeak3.9 on Ubuntu 6.10 Linux on a PC.

Squeak 3.9 still supports _ for assignments, it just prints it as _ and not as an arrow (which confuses almost every newbie).
Automatic _ to := is not that simple, not every _ is an assignment and there are some live methods, which you can not just change. There is a script for this which handles most cases.

Hi ---,
the simplest solution is 1. Open preference browser 2. Search for ':=' 3. Switch the Button from syntaxHighligthingAsYouTypeLeftArrowAssignment to syntaxHighligthingAsYouTypeAnsiAssignment
