$a is a way to input the Character "a". Just like you use 'Hello' to
input the string "Hello". In other words, it is a Character literal.
Does that make sense?

to get what you expect. A String consists of Characters (Character is

You could also do

You just need to use parentheses, like so:
(Album repository at: 7) desc: 'this is a good album'
BTW, it is better to use full words for your method and variable names
-- they are much easier to guess.

Andy,
a string and a block are two distinct things in Smalltalk. Seaside
just lets you provide one or the other as an argument for messages
like paragraph: because that's convenient when you write a web
application. Sometimes you want to have plain text in that paragraph,
then you use

For your particular need (normalizing line breaks), use:
aString withSqueakLineEndings
That gives you a defined line end convention, suitable for use with
other methods like linesDo:.

Hi,
I know it is possible manually, using the paint box. I guess you could
fill using a transparent color. I would open the Method finder and
search for fill or floodfill. Don't have a squeak image in front of me
now, sorry.

Hi,
the @ method is not specific to Squeak. I guess it has been included
in the earliest versions of Smalltalk already.
I don't know about any other Squeak-specific syntax (apart from arrays).

dialects then you might want to h

Hi Michael,
I think Tonys model of the game is like this:
A Player throws a hand. That can be any of "rock", "scissors", or
"paper". Now someone (a Game object?) has to check if the player did
not make a mistake, say by throwing a "well". The set of legal throws

Hi Tony,
welcome to Smalltalk :-) Try this:
s := 'abcdef' asSet.
s includes: $a.

How many possible float values do you have? Maybe a lookup strategy

Hi,
The idea is that you should _maybe_ give the superclasses of Strand a
chance to execute their method.
In some situations this is really necessary, or just a good way to
avoid code duplication.
