In the various books on Squeak and Smalltalk that I've read, they use a vertical stroke to delineate variables. where is this on my keyboard?
It's usually on the right hand side above the return key. It should show on the keyboard of any PC or Mac.
Is it a character that changes in Squeak when you type it like the underscore?
No. It's a regular character.
I can tell by your question that you are not looking at the Squeak Etoys, which is what the Squeakland site and this mailing list is about. If you haven't done much or any programming before, you might find a really great start by doing the etoys stuff. Get the book "Powerful ideas in the classroom" or look at the tutorials on the site and try the examples.
If you have had some experience programming and want to learn the full blown Squeak, then the site is Squeak.org, and there are many books available about how to program both in Smalltalk in general, and in Squeak in particular.
Cheers,
Alan
