Re: [Newbies] An Error Preference?

[Chris Muller]

Are you sure you're in the method-entry pane and not the
class-definition pane?  You ahve to select a method or method-category
to enter a new method.

Teh other possibility is you have a bad character in the text.  If so,
I would just delete all that text and re-type your code.  Select
"cancel" on the text menu.  Or, you could press Command+a followed by
Backspace.

Chris,

Thanks. Starting over from a fresh method entry pane and typing without
copying worked. Maybe my WinVista OS and keyboard are acting up inserting
bad characters.  When I attempt to close and restart Squeak part of my
keyboard goes bad putting up "3" instead of typed "l" for example, unless I
reboot the computer between Squeak sessions.
