Thanks for the explanation (to both of you)!

To Rene: Great! Oder besser: Goil aeh!

To Herbert: No, I don't know how to program smalltalk in other environments.

Darmstadt is not so far from here. I'm near Karlsruhe! May be some day, we could meet...

Regards, Uwe

Hello Uwe,

H> until today I wandered how to program Smalltalk in Squeak.

you know how to program smalltalk in other environments?

H> How frustrating it is, if the first program (Hello world) doesn't work!

Try the squeak.org and the swiki, there are lots of working tutorials.

H> Could someone explain it?

Actually it's helpful. You have a workspace with many snippets of code, select one or many and 'ALT-D' does it. Well each expression must be terminated by a '.' to work on many expressions.

As long as it is a single smalltalk expression it may be multiline and just putting the cursor into it 'ALT-D' will do it.

Where are you situated in Germany? I'm near Darmstadt, relatively new to squeak and doing something together might help both of us.

Cheers,
