First, pharo-users is a better forum for such questions. That said, I recently used Polymorph for the first time. I found Laurent Laffont's Pharocast [2] a good tutorial.

Is there a simple example of how to create a GUI form in Pharo or Squeak?
I want to accomplish a simple task with a form:
1. Create a form with a button and edit control and 2 text areas.
2. Enter a value into the edit control.
3. Run a database query using the value in the edit control as a parameter and return the results in text area 1
4. Run a shell script using the value in the edit control as a parameter and return the results in text area 2
I have OpenDBX running successfully and I don't think using OSProcess and CommandShell will be that difficult.
Creating the form is the part I don't know how to accomplish.
I have done some searching and there seems to be a surprising dearth of info on how to create a simple GUI from scratch using Pharo or Squeak.
