Does anyone have details on how to use the following classes of Smalltalk in
order to build a nice Macintosh-like user interface?
     Dispatcher
     Menu
     Pane
    Subpane
    Textpane

What version of Smalltalk do you have?  None of these are in the one I
use, which is version 2 (using the bs interpreter on Suns).  The version
I've seen has View, TextView, ListView, etc. and Controller, TextController,
ListController, etc.  I learned to use them by reading the source code.
The fourth book (on the user interface) has never come out.

What's this about building a Mac-like interface?  Smalltalk already HAS a
Mac-like interface!  More precisely, the Mac has a Smalltalk-like interface.
Are you using Smalltalk-80, or something else?
