Morphic programming

Hello

First, New to smalltalk and squeak I wrote some small methods to learn
about the language. It was irritating but fun using browsers instead of
emacs and using an image instead of a file. Learning new stuff is always
a good idea. Thanks to all squeakers for let me play on their ground :)

What I miss is a consistent GUI toolkit. I am sure there is one but I
have not found it so for. I tried BobsUI but I got errors on Squeak 3.8
as i tried to file in. I guess there is a built in. So what have I to do
if I wanna develope an application with dialog windows, buttons, entry
fields, listboxes etc? I am familiar with TK and other toolkits.
I saw the rolodex example using a book widget. Thats a start.
But whats about a spreadsheet-like widget (you can call it table or
matrix like too)?

Last week I ordered a squeak book. Its not here yet. Shipping from the
US needs some time. And I am not sure if it describes the current state
of morphic UI.

I hope someone can give me some hints

Thanks in advance
Enno
