[Cuis-dev] Mystifying Cuis issue

[asmisc.gm at gmail.com]

I am new to Smalltalk, and to Cuis.

On my first try to use Cuis I encountered an issue I thought I should
mention - if only to understand what happened.


   - In Workspace tried: Transcript show: 'Hello, Cuis!'; cr.
   - I did not see any output showing "Hello, ....
   - I got a window headed: Error: primCreateDirectory: failed - Process:
   Morphic UI, followed by a list of messages eg. primitiveFailed
   - I fed this to AI which advised: add a folder to Cuis7-2-main calling
   it ‘Transcript’ .

That handled it.

Mystifyingly, tonight I installed Cuis 7-2 at home on another debian
system. It works for above - *without any adding/having a ‘Transcript’
folder! *


I am just starting. Great to have the The Cuis-Smalltalk book. Thank you.

I did some research before choosing Cuis for its deep adherence to the
original smalltalk principles - as covered by Juan Vuletich in:
*https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/blob/master/Documentation/AboutCuis.md#the-philosophy-behind-cuis
<https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/blob/master/Documentation/AboutCuis.md#the-philosophy-behind-cuis>*
. Because I understand only the basics of Smalltalk: object, message,
class, data/characteristics/attributes and methods, for a deeper conceptual
understanding I have ordered: Smalltalk, Objects, and Design by Liu,
Chamond.



It’s great to have discovered Cuis 😊.
