Randy's code did what Karen is talking about - you could switch between VisualWorks (VW) text and (Randy's) graphics mode browsers, move syntactic units around, etc., preventing syntax mistakes and so on. It was demoed at obne of the OOPSLA conferences.
I can't remember the details now but I will try to find the paper and the code and make it available here. But it has been a long time ...

Actually I am looking for something more higher level than Etoys. I would like to know if somebody has re-written Squeak as a complete visual (drag & drop) system so that we do not have to worry about making syntax mistakes when building programs.
Etoys is higher-level than Smalltalk, so maybe you do need to better explain what you want. Etoys *is* a drag&drop system.
I saw you worked with Alice - Etoys tiles are similar to Alice tiles. What kind of application do you have in mind? What audience should use it?
