To whom it may concern , may i ask for some help about standard graphic routines ? As a beginner i just have learned all the first level SYNTAX of smalltalk 80. Now , you can imagine , i am interested in writing little GUI windows and graphics for placing some text in the right positions. Theese are the statements i have studied from my material. Does anybody know why the statements not work? Are there any "replacements" for the syntax that i posted here as example ? Have a nice day HERE ARE THE EXAMPLES : | window | window := ScheduledWindow new. window component: 'Hello World' asComposedText. window open | window | window := ScheduledWindow new. window label: 'Fenster ohne Inhalt'. window minimumSize: 200 @ 100; maximumSize: 400 @ 300. window open displayOn: aGraphicsContext 1 to: 10 do: [:i| aGraphicsContext translation printString asComposedText displayOn: aGraphicsContext. aGraphicsContext translateBy: 15 @ 15] Greetings Hans The Byte Surfer
