Hello Daniweb,

I've recently begun reading the e-book Squeak by Example. So far, I'm finding the Smalltalk language pretty interesting and much more stimulating than, say, Java. I'm on chapter 3 of the book.

By now, since I'm much more used to creating runnable programs or scripts with other languages, I've begun to wonder if there's a way to create a Smalltalk program (e.g., a "Hello world!" console program or a Win32 GUI RSS feed reader). Is it possible to do this, or is all Smalltalk code written to be run in a Smalltalk environment? (I doubt that's the case since, apparently, Squeak itself is a Smalltalk program.)

Thank you for your time and help!
