I am having difficulty finding my copy of the Self manual, and Danny Epstein isn't to be found, so I can't borrow his. I thought I was beyond having to look up syntax :-)

How do I declare a multi-argument block? I.e. given

blahMethod: withArg SpecialBlock: myBlock = ( .... myBlock value: 10 Value: 20. ).

I want to call it with:

blahMethod: myArg SpecialBlock: [ | :firstArg :secondArg | " do neat things with the arguments " ].

Actually, I haven't written the body of the blahMethod: yet. I am getting syntax errors on the call... It is possible that a redesign would get rid of this problem, but I doubt it, since I want to have a generic function that does something intelligent to a property of a sub-object. Specifically, it expands or contracts one of the dimensions, the dimension being changed should be specified by the *enclosing* object, and *changes* for one case (the y dimension has an up from baseline and down from baseline component). Maybe I'm just too much of a LISP hacker :-)

Also, I created an object that I call a `boundedNum' that I use for the dimensions. It is an integer that can grow (shrink) to a certain maximum (minimum) size, but no greater (smaller). Some boundedNum's have only one bound, or zero bounds --- i.e. one of the bounds is infinity. I was pleased to type `infinity' and have it work. I tried -infinity, but that got Self 1.3 upset. Okay, negInfinity: 0 - infinity, and it is happy. (it even prints as "-Inf") However, once I've create negInfinity, any subsequent code loaded fails. Does this happen with 2.0/2.1, or is this particular to my image...

Thanks.

p.s: I have done too much work under 1.3 to switch to 2.0 at this junction. Probably later. R James Noble's X stuff works quite well. I understand that the 2.0 X stuff uses bitmaps?
