[Newbies] UI Reading In Text Field Input

[Gary Dunn]

The input field IS the container. You can retrieve the user input by sending
it a message, probably aTextField contents. If you really need to store that
elsewhere you can do an assignment, like myName := aTextField contents.
Finally, put that assignment in the method invoked by the submit button's
onClick handler.

Sometimes it helps to remind yourself that Smalltalk is not Java. Hope this
helps.

I am at the moment putting together a simple UI with Morphic Designer.  I am
struggling to find a way to read in user input.  For example:

A user inputs a string/number into a text field then presses a button -->
how do I print this to Transcript or save the user input to a variable.  I
am familiar with Java but can not wrap my head around this.

Any help or a snippet of code would be much appreciated!
Thanks
