The input field IS the container. You can retrieve the user input by sending it a message, probably aTextField contents. If you really need to store that elsewhere you can do an assignment, like myName := aTextField contents. Finally, put that assignment in the method invoked by the submit button's onClick handler.
Sometimes it helps to remind yourself that Smalltalk is not Java. Hope this helps.

I am at the moment putting together a simple UI with Morphic Designer. I am
struggling to find a way to read in user input. For example:
A user inputs a string/number into a text field then presses a button -->
how do I print this to Transcript or save the user input to a variable. I
am familiar with Java but can not wrap my head around this.
Any help or a snippet of code would be much appreciated!
Thanks
