That clearly shows I have to work on my "exploration" skills :-)

Hmm...Pharo rejects those lines, e.g. with "Unknown select
newTextInput". I guess I'm sub-classing the wrong class. Here's my
class definition:

ComposableModel subclass: #FirstSpec
instanceVariableNames: 'textName labelGreeting buttonGreet'
classVariableNames: ''
poolDictionaries: ''
category: 'Bahman-Spec'
</code>
