I am just beginning with GNU Smalltalk (and Smalltalk in general, 
although I have used VOS2 on some "toy/pet" projects) and am wondering if:

1) I am messing something up
2) The MSDOS executable I am using is hosed up somehow, or
c) There is something else going wrong

The basic problem I am having is with the sourceCodeAt: method in the 
Behavior subclass.  When I do something like this:

st> ((SMalltalk at: #Set) sourceCodeAt: #at:) printNl!

I get the following back as the result:

cessing'!

at: index
    self error: 'at: not allowed f
st>

which appears to be 55 characters taken out of the middle of the method 
definition.


Anyone have any ideas?  (Above should be Smalltalk not SMalltalk)

If you need any more information please let me know and I will furnish if 
I can.

Thanks-
Karl
