[Help-smalltalk] GNU smalltalk command line interpreter

[bblochl2]

Hello,
I have a real dummy question! Beside other "smalltalks" I actually tried
GNU Smalltalk under OpenSUSE 10.3 on an AMD XP Machine:

localhost:~> gst -v
GNU Smalltalk version 2.1.12

Using default kernel path: /usr/share/smalltalk/kernel
Using default image path: /usr/share/smalltalk

The GUI (gst -qK browser/Run.st) works as usual for smalltalk." 'Hello,
world' printNl" in the worksheet gives the expected output in the
transcript window. I tried the example of the Tutorial
(http://www.gnu.org/software/smalltalk/manual/gst.html#Getting-started)
in the line interpreter as well (or is it not a command line interpreter?):

localhost:~> gst
GNU Smalltalk ready

st> 'Hello, world' printNl
st>                    

But as one sees from that copy there happens absolutely nothing! That is
also true for "123456 printString",  "6 + 7"  and other trial inputs. If
this is not a line interpreter I argue that it is only possible to start
files with a "shebang" or “sharp-bang”?

Where is may error?

Thanks in advance for help and best regards

Bernhard
