Hello Laurent, and also Petr from his post. Thank you for your replies. I have already selected Counterclockwise to use for editing. I am a longtime Smalltalker, so I like rich environments. But I have yet to learn how to use it much. I have not seen how to simply open a REPL like I would use to go through the books examples. When I go through the menus, I see a Connect to REPL option. But I have no REPLs to connect to. I did not know how to connect or use a REPL within ccw. So, upon the writing of this email I went to search the ccw group archives. I had already joined a week or so ago. I found how to open a REPL. It took me a moment to learn how to execute a statement which was entered. Then I happened upon ctrl-enter. This biggest issue I see in this context, is that the REPL is tied to the editor. Yes, I can detach the REPL, but it is still a part of the editor. I can't have the pdf of my book side by side with the REPL. As soon as I click on the REPL, the entire editor comes to the top, putting my book behind. Making it impossible to see the code I am attempting to enter. Is there a way to run this REPL completely independent of the editor? Also, I do not see any way to go back in history with this REPL as I can with the other. Thanks for your suggestion. I look forward to learning ccw better.
