Hi Jerome,
With the help of Jeroen earlier on, I have been able to complete this
task. His approach is very similar to yours though.
The short version is, that I am trying to create my own Unix operating
system, which comes with a user interface that is entirely written in
Squeak, and therefore Smalltalk. This particular question was aimed at
an obstacle I was facing while creating methods and operations for a
Pulldown menu that I wrote for my UI. When a menu entry is clicked, an
variable needs to be changed into a new value, which is why that one
method requires an argument you see.
Here is a screenshot which shows you the Open File window, for which
this question originally was.

And what it is.

Thanks again,

Hi Marcus
To get the best help, please describe the user story.
What are you trying to do?
You can give buttons arguments:
myButton target: aTarget .
myButton actionSelector: #someAction: .
myButton arguments: Array with: myArgument .
(You have to change #arguments: when ever the
argument changes.)
or you can use blocks as targets
myButton target: [ aTarget someAction: myArgument ]
actionSelector: value .
where myArgument could be something like
(FillinTheBlank request: 'Eh wot Marcus?')
This all seems a difficult way to achieve something.
Which is why I mention telling the story first. Then
it might be seen if what you want is better achieved
some other way.
Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace
