[Newbies] MVC freezes

2007-01-15 Thread Another Dave
Open MVC project, and click into it. Open Workspace, and enter and select a line of code. How do I _do it_? Center button does not work, and ctl-click locks up Squeak. I have a three-button wheel mouse on a generic PC. 3- button mouse mapping is enabled. I'm trying to learn MVC, not Morphic.

Forging on ahead, I tried lesson #2. This seems to be a very important lesson: Create two boxes, put some text in one, push a button and transfer it over to the other. Several useful concepts here. But the tutorial doesn't work for me. I can't make sense out of what is supposed to be dragged

Let's say you're totally lost, and want to exit Squeak without saving anything from the mess you've just made. Wouldn't you click World quit, then answer 'No' to 'Save changes before quitting'? My Squeak 3.9g still saves everything for next session. -- View this message in context:
