Very Basic Squeak information: msg#00142

Subject: Very Basic Squeak information

Hi, I am looking for some very (super newb) basic information about squeak. Here are my questions:

- Where does the source code go? I used the workspace window to test the objects I created (and others), but where do I put the main program logic so that I can execute the program at will? Just use workspace window like I was doing? Are there other methods?

- Is there such a thing as command line squeak? Such that I can create my objects, then put the basic program logic in a file and fire it off from the command line?

I feel as though I am missing something essential that was not made obvious from the documentation (or I just plain missed it). How do you distribute a squeak program? Do you always have to use the IDE environment to run the programs you create?

What is the difference between the VM and the main GUI environment download?

I understand the concept of creating objects and passing messages to the objects, I am just fumbling for the thing that glues this all together....like a main class in Java, for example.

If someone could point me in the direction of those answers, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Eric Ching
