Yes. I seriously considered if I could get 'forms' to work on an
html page in Squeak to get the 'boring business' interface for a
project I'm working on. It just looked like more work than I was
willing to do to find out if it's possible...
Hey, does anybody have any suggestions? :-)
Specifically: have a method that can be called which will display an
html page with form data and return the contents of the fields...
