Ok. I'm a complete newcomer to Squeak, and indeed to Smalltalk, although I am an experienced programmer, having worked by way through FORTRAN, Pascal, C, C++, C#, Ada an Python in my time. I'm trying to learn Squeak on Windows XP, working my way through Squeak By Example (http://squeakbyexample.org//SBE.pdf) A fairly early exercise is to open a workspace window and a transcript window, and, in the workspace window, to type Transcript show: 'hello world'; cr. Then highlight it, yellow-click on it (right-click on my system), and select "do it (d)". That worked fine. However, after doing some of the further exercises in the book I'm again asked to select some text in the workspace window and select "do it (d)". Now, though, the "do it (d)" menu option doesn't appear when I yellow (right) click, just the options I showed in my original posting. In case it was something to do with what I had in the workspace window, I went back to the original excercise that had previously worked. I typed Transcript show: 'hello world'; cr. Then highlighted it, yellow-clicked on it (right-click on my system), and sure enough, "do it (d)" no longer appeared on that menu either. I no longer seem to be able to execute anything at all from a workspace window (which seems rather limiting, to say the least!) -- Tim Rowe _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list Beginners@lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
