[Help-smalltalk] Using Sockets

[Aidan Gauland]

Hello,

Today I started trying to play around with networking in Smalltalk.  I
thought I knew what I was doing, but apparently not.  I have a basic
understanding of the concepts involved with networking and working
with sockets, but have no experience programming with sockets.

Here is my session...

st> PackageLoader fileInPackage: 'Sockets'.

Loading package Sockets

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
