Frank there is no problem. Welcome. I can tell you that I'm not satisfied with the way we build interfaces. We are working on it but as usual it takes time and effort. Do not hesitate to ask questions. We are really trying hard to improve. Stef

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.
I realized I had posted to the wrong mailing llist. Anyway I am working my way through the PBE book and I will get there soon enough.
