Georg:
Thanks for your reply, but that wasn't actually my problem. After carefully
following the debugger I realized that:
1) the selector name is expected to end in a colon (:)
2) the name should be followed by a list of arguments giving the number of
arguments the receiver is expecting. Each arg name should start with a colon.
So, to get two arguments, my selector should have been something like:
#msg::a:b
Actually, the system doesn't really examine the arg names, so it could just as
easily be:
#msg:::
I actually looked at the code counting the colons. I suspected this was a noob
question.

Hi Matthew,
I sent a tutorial some time back - it shows a 'framework' for the input/output
to the island. I forwarded you the mail separately.
The mechanism is not easy or simple, but it works.
Hope that helps!

I am trying to get information out of an island using signal:withArguments:
to
an outside object waiting with perform:withArguments:
More precisely I have a tObject with a tFarRef and some outside object,
obj.
I do
obj runScript: #selector when: {tFarRef . #msg}.
and then have a perform:withArguments: method for obj.
Later tObject is called with:
self signal: #msg withArguments: #('1234').
obj's perform:withArguments: method gets called with #selector, but
withArguments gets #().
The doc seems to say this is the only way to get info out of an island, but
it's not getting any info out. How do I get information from tObject to
obj?
Thanks,
Matthew
