I came from X world to learn smalltalt 4.0 on X and found a lot of
questions.
1. Whenever I have a window opened (aScheduleWindow open), the process
stops and I can't continue this process anymore. The direct
impact is that I can never open two windows (ScheduleWindow) at
the same time. What's wrong with this? Can anyone give me
a simple example to "open two Schedulewindow's"?
2. What is the corresponding operation to the concept of X's parent-
child windows? Can I group some windows into a window and put it
into another window in smalltalk?
3. When I use "inspect" in the program, I face the same problem as
question 1. How can I continue the process after "inspect"?
4. I have "Tutorial", "User's Guide", "Release Notes", and "Installation
Guide . Sun" for Release 4.0. Is there any books or manual I can
get to help me to understand how to use graphics functions?
I appreciate whoever have patience to read until here. Please be
more patient to tell me the answers if you know them.

[ ScheduledWindow new open ] fork. [ Object new inspect ] fork. Transcript show: 'done.'; cr. This doesn't work, however, if you want to wait until the user has finished inspecting the object, for example, before continuing execution. Notice you get to 'done' before the inspector has even displayed itself. David Monnie
