Bugs in JES ? #87

My guess is that you don't have write privileges from JES in C: on that computer. Try using pickAFile() to find the path to a place where you know you can read/write files, then modify that string to define a new file. Both of those are working for me: [cid:84EE9008-4EC4-4A5B-BC4F-3F86F26631A7] return won't give cursor-over-help because it's a Python built-in. We only provide the cursor-over-help for JES-specific functions.

Thanks Mark – sorted! but being the only user of my machine, I thought I’d set read/write privileges globally. On another issue, I’ve found a couple of inconsistencies in your book (Intro to Comp & Prog in Python), most programs in Chapter 4 have the argument for return not in parantheses, but Program 29 it is - is there a difference? thanks Richard From: mjguzdial [mailto:notifications@github.com] My guess is that you don't have write privileges from JES in C: on that computer.

No, no difference. Just wrote them at a different time and a different style.

Hi Mark still going through your book, got to Page 149 (3rd Ed) , tried to download Media Tools as per instructions, got the .image file, dragged to Squeak, nothing happens. Tried running squeak.exe from the directory and opening .image into it – nothing happens. any ideas? and now I can’t delete the Squeak folder to try again...have to re-boot L thanks Richard . https://github.com/notifications/beacon/AL_X-ONATt9pcawU1RNDtXs6ON6iRW4mks5oMq_6gaJpZM4EmTBc.gif |

No, I don't. Squeak has always been super-robust for me. Did you download Squeak from Squeak.org? The one for your platform? I don't get how Squeak could mess up the folder so that you couldn't delete it.

Thanks Mark, yes downloaded Squeak-all-in-one, unzipped on Windows, ran squeak.bat. I’ve posted on the Discussion Board in my local BlackBoard for the course I’m doing, so hopefully somebody will know.. cheers From: mjguzdial [mailto:notifications@github.com] No, I don't.

Hard to tell what's going on. You don't have to have the MediaTools for the class. I find them useful for introducing sound (see https://youtu.be/mjwCWGOil1Y), but most teachers don't use them.

WritePictureTo(picture, file)
does not work, no matter what syntax I use :
Return(n) doesn't seem to do anything, and the "cursor-over-help" does nothing for that command
using Win XP, JES 5.020
TIA
