Hi Paolo, Thank you for the link. Im studying it now. Hmm. Tab complete doesn't work on the socket options I tried implying something is missing from my Smalltalk installation. Is the socket class included in the Ubuntu distribution of Smalltalk 3.2.5?
A link to a simple UDP message example would also be much appreciated.
