gst

Hi, I'm new to Smalltalk. I think I understand the basics of the language and now want to start with GNU Smalltalk (as it's free and has bindings for GTK).

As I'm coming from the PHP and Java-Corner, I'm not familiar with the concept of the Smalltalk images. And I even read now, that you don't need to use images in GNU Smalltalk. Now I'm confused ;-)

So is it possible to work with files and to include the classes I need with the PackageLoader class?

I would be happy when I could use my favourite texteditor (vim) for coding instead of an IDE, too ;-)

Please enlight me :-)
