[Newbies] Squeak and the Keyboard

[Shawn MacIntyre]

Herbert and Ron,

Thank you for your quick replies. I will try these out!

Another question(s):
I have been trying to learn Monticello...
Is there a good tutorial for it?
How does it compare to CVS or darcs?
When you open a repository, what is the difference between "Load",  
"Merge", and "Adopt"?
What are the best practices for it?
If I add a method to a base class, how do add it to my project's  
Monitcello repository?

Thank you once again!
Shawn
