Hi PWS,
I'm looking at ComSwiki, and I'm curious about how the external Smalltalk
files are used. I think that the scripts in the actions folder are activated
by buttons. I've never seen Smalltalk code in external files -- always in
the image.
I don't understand how the scripts are input into the image at the prompting
of a button. I don't see how the script knows where to insert itself, how it
contextualizes itself.
I know from the Squeak man page that a file can be added to the command line
and inserted:
squeak -headless squeak.image helloworld.st&
That's the only way I know to input a file with Smalltalk into an image. It
would execute in the Workspace.
I guess these action files, all 117 of them, are being executed on the
Workspace also. But how are they being pulled into the image by a
button/link?
Chris
