Did you ever see the system called “Methods” which was a TUI version of Smalltalk on the PC? I think it was by Digitalk.

It was a part of Digitalk Smalltalk/V for DOS. It can still be found at: https://winworldpc.com/product/digital-smalltalk/12-dos It does run under FreeDOS.

Thanks for the pointer! Very cool. As I understand it, it was the proof of concept for Smalltalk/V. Unfortunately, Smalltalk/V trashes the screen under DosBox with EGAColor, so I'll have to look into making it work better.

It doesn't play well with the current largish screen sizes. I got it to run on an eeePC 701, which has a 800x480 LCD Display.

Yes, I still have the box and original media (though it ain't pretty looking)
