There are some things wrong with the second line: - there´s a period after self, you must remove it - you wrote NO instead of NOT, so the the assert will fail - the sentence in capitals is surrounded by double quotes $" which are for comments; strings are surrounded by single quotes $' , this makes your code actually be: ( 'Do not panic' shout = ) To write the return operator, ^, I can use one of these two combinations in my linux box (which has a slightly weird US international keyboard layout): - press shift+6 twice - press shift+6, then press space As an additional note, you don´t actually need the parentheses there, because the order of evaluation is: - unary messages (#shout) - binary messages (#=) - keyword messages (#assert:) So you can write: testShout ^ self assert: 'do not panic' shout = 'DO NOT PANIC' Hope this helps in getting a better grasp of Smalltalk syntax. I found it really easy and fun to learn :) Cheers, Sergi
