Thanks to a comment from Tim Rowledge on the PWS list referencing SystemDictionary>>readDocumentFile, I've got SqueakPages books opening from Internet Explorer.

The code to do this is at http://guzdial.cc.gatech.edu/st/booksandWeb.cs This changeSet includes the code to save a book to an uploadSwiki (such as http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeakPages.1) and the mods to Scamper to read a book that ends in .bo.

To make clicking on a .bo URL in IE (or Navigator) open up the book in Squeak: - File in the booksandWeb.cs changeSet into your image. - Save your image as "squeak" (so that you get squeak.image and squeak.changes created) - Quit Squeak. - Open up your Web browser. Modify your "file helpers" (in IE, there is a Preferences item in the Edit menu.) - Create a new helper. I named mine "application/x-squeak-book". The extension must be ".bo". Set the application helper to your Squeak VM. (For this to work, your squeak.image must be in the same directory as your Squeak VM.)

Now you're set! Go to the SqueakPages Swiki and click on some .bo link. The .bo file should download to your disk, and Squeak should open up, then load up the .bo file as a book. I found that the .bo file contains the URLs for its pages (property allTextURLs), so I read the original book URL out of that, and it seems to be working.
