" Nothing more expected -> " when running "do it" in Squeak

I'm trying to run some command split on several lines from the Workspace in Squeak 5.1

When it's on one line, like below, it works fine:

Perroquet new nom: 'Polly' ; vocabulaire: 'Screatch! Go away'; vocabulaire: 'give me food'; parle.

However, if I try to split it on several lines, with or without tabs, it doesn't run and adds "Nothing more expected ->" in the workspace

Perroquet new nom: 'Polly' ;
    vocabulaire: 'Screatch! Go away';
    vocabulaire: 'give me food'; parle.

after "do it": 

Perroquet new nom: 'Polly' ;
    vocabulaire: 'Screatch! Go away';
     Nothing more expected ->vocabulaire: 'give me food'; parle.

In the doc that I'm using, the examples given seem to be able to split it without any trouble. Is that because of different version of Squeak? Am I missing something somewhere?

Solution

  • You have to select the whole expression so it is highlighted and then invoke the do-it command. Otherwise, only the text on the current line is attempted to be evaluated, which fails because there is no receiver before #vocabulaire:
