You'll be wanting to do: ss := SocketStream on: serverSocket. I would recommend looking at a simple network service. One I can think of is REPLServer, which is a telnet server, but there may be simpler ones out there for e.g. HTTP. Also, if you want faster help, I recommend joining the #squeak IRC channel.
