Dear Duke, I am not a GNU Smalltalk specialist but I hope I can help a bit.
Are you aware that the " SmalltalkVTutorial.pdf" is for Smalltalk/V, not for GNU Smalltalk? There are several Smalltalk implementations, aka "Smalltalk dialects", which differ technically from each other. Smalltalk/V is an outdated one. GNU Smalltalk differs from the main Smalltalk dialects significantly.

Things were going well until `gst' choked on the following: 'hello' at: 1 put: $H as well as #( 1 0 4 5 ) at: 2 put: # ( 2 3 ) Is there another way to do the above in `gst' ? TIA ... -- Duke
