Also, here is the template for defining a class:

Superclass subclass: #YourClassName
	instanceVariableNames: 'instVarAlpha instVarBeta'
	classVariableNames: ''
	poolDictionaries: ''
	category: 'Dynamic Coding Examples'

And you can execute any arbitrary code stored in a string using the
following:

	Compiler evaluate: aString

For example:

| string1 string2 string3 sum class |
string1 := '3 + 4'.
string2 := 
	'Object subclass: #DynamicCodeExample
	instanceVariableNames: ''value''
	classVariableNames: ''''
	poolDictionaries: ''''
	category: ''Dynamic Coding Examples'''.
string3 := 'value
			^value'.
sum := Compiler evaluate: string1.
class := Compiler evaluate: string2.
class compile: string3 classified: #accessing.

Brett:

To compile a method in a class, execute the following code:

	YourClass compile: methodBodyString classified: #methodCategory

So, to add the method #foo to the class Object, under the method category
#bar, where the body of the #foo method prints 'Foo, world!' to the
Transcript, you would code the following:

	Object 
		compile: 'foo
				Transcript cr; show: ''Foo, world!'''
		classified: #temporary

Subject: importing and compiling squeak code

Hi, i am new to Squeak and smalltalk, i'm hoping somebody can help me get
started on this problem.
 I want to store some squeak code in a file and execute the code after the
program is running,
binding all of the methods found in that file to a new object.  I am
starting with something like
below:

bindMethods bindToObject compile: text
    ...something here to compile the text and return the methods?
    ...something here to bind those methods to bindToObject?


Thanks,
-brett
