Shaping,
The recommended procedure for getting a fresh start with flaps (i.e. destroying all the old ones, and getting pristine new ones) is simply to evaluate:
Utilities reinstateDefaultFlaps
If you press the "about flaps" button in the "Squeak" flap, you'll get a window entitled "Flaps in Morphic", which contains documentation about flaps. You'll find a paragraph about reinstating flaps there, which inclues the above recommendation.

Josh -
Yet another idea is to destroy the global flaps, and rerun whatever initialization method(s) created them during the filein process. I don't know how complicated this would be; I've been unable to find out how to do this, either.
Having just visited this region for other reasons (space reclamation), I
offer the following suggestion:
Use the preferences... window to set useGlobalFlaps to false.
Browse to System-Support/Utilities
In the class pane choose class vars to inspec the class variables
Select the item 'FlapTabs' -- it will show an orderedCollection
In the value pane, select all that, replace it by 'nil' (without the
quotes),
and choose 'save' from the menu or use cmd-s
This should put you in such a condition that, if you then turn the
useGlobalFlaps preferences on again, it will recreate things from scratch.
Doing the above flush and rebuild in 2.4b creates a second set of flaps; the original set is still there. Is this correct?
