	I am running Little Smalltalk version three on an IBM PC, from the a 
drive.I assign the 'edit' DOS editor and try to add methods, but this fails 
to bring up the editor screen.
	  The diagnostics cite 1. 'Out of memory'(There is sufficient 
memory on the disk in a: )  and 2. a compiler error.  
	However, there is no problem in creating objects and instances, and 
in assigning string values to 'editor'. Please help, I am at wit's end. 
	The on-screen dialog goes something like this:


A:\>st

>Object addSubClass: #Square instanceVariableNames: 's'

>editor <- 'c:\dos\edit'

>Square addMethod
Out of memory
Compile error: Method: illegal message selector
edit again(yn)?
