I am having a little trouble trying to grasp SmallTalk (I have done some
programming in C++ a couple years ago).  Is there a free self-paced 
tutorial available?  I have the Visual Works turorial draft, but it's 
missing a couple chapters.

I need to get to know this enough to write about it in a Functional
Spec.  Right now I'm up against the following brick walls.  They seem
simple, but I can't find how to deal with them:

1)  Calling a C function from within a Smalltalk method.

2)  Error handling.  When the C function fails, how does the error get 
reported?

Thanks for any help!
