Hello (gnu-)smalltalkers.
I'll start presenting myself, my name is Pupeno (well, my official name is 
José Pablo Ezequiel Fernández) and I'm currently located in Buenos Aires, 
Argentina.
I was recently introduced by Federico Heinz to the power of smalltalk (yes, my 
little secure world built arround C++ crashed, and crashed hard!). He did it 
in Squeak, but in the look for freer alternatives, I reached, obviusly, 
gnu-smalltalk and I've been studing it for a couple of days.
I've read almost all the tutorial at 
http://www.gnu.org/software/smalltalk/gst-manual/gst_28.html#SEC45 and I've 
found a comple of things that didn't work as expected or that didn't even 
work.
One speciall thing I'm intresting in is:
Smalltalk snapshot: 'myimage.im'
which didn't work:
$ gst
GNU Smalltalk ready

st> Smalltalk snapshot: 'myimage.im' !
Object: SystemDictionary new: 512 "<0x402dc818>" error: did not understand 
#snapshot:
SystemDictionary(Object)>>#doesNotUnderstand:
SystemDictionary(BindingDictionary)>>#doesNotUnderstand:
UndefinedObject>>#executeStatements
nil
st>

can you tell me how to do it ?

I'm still having trouble understanding the concept of image, world and all 
that... if anybody know of a good on-line document about it, I will 
appretiate it a lot (I'm in the hunt of a copy of the blue box, no luck yet).
Thanks.

PS: Smalltalk inspired me a lot of ideas... my goal is the desktop, but 
generaly, an easier to use environment, even for servers... I'll post my 
ideas latter as they mature.
