When ST/X is started initially,
it opens two windows for you:
the Launcher and a System Workspace
(in which you will probably read this text right now).
The Launcher is your central place to open other Smalltalk tools and to display status information and
information messages.
Workspaces are little editor-like windows,
into which code can be typed for immediate evaluation.
Use it for code which is to be thrown away later,
not for writing code which is to be kept longer.
To extend or modify the system by writing new code,
or to write your own applications,
the SystemBrowser tool is used (which is described later).
Things you should do now:
keyboard.rc" file.
This file is consulted at startup time and can also be reloaded after a change
via the fileBrowser's "fileIn"-function.
"lib*/resources/*.rs"-files;
there you will find per-package translations for individual languages.
Language files can be edited either in any unicode-aware editor,
or the ST/X FileBrowser,
or the ST/X language tool which is opened via the Launcher's "System"-menu.
If you add or fix anything there, we would be very happy, if you'd send us your changes - we will incorporate them into the next release. Make sure that your chosen font is able to display those characters (especially if you edit Greek, Russian or a far-east language translations).
Sorry: ST/X does not (yet) support right-to-left text display (i.e. Hebrew and Arabic). Be patient - maybe someone pays us to do it in the future.
settings.stx" will be written).
Otherwise, the settings are only used for the current session.
Also, you should save a snapshot image (Launcher's "File" - "Save Image" menu)
for faster startup the next time.
You can always start ST/X with the "-I" command line argument to
ignore the snapshot image and force a fresh start. Or, start with "-i <fileName>" to resume an
older saved state.
By the way: to reopen a window containing this text, open a workspace and select the "New System Workspace" item in its "File" menu. Alternatively, press the Launcher's workspace icon and wait for the pull down menu to appear (keep the button pressed).
