Good point, Al. I don't doubt that there are some excellent step-by-step 
"How to program in Squeak" tutorials out there... somewhere. But they 
are not readily accessible, at least not by me. I can't find a useful 
list of such tutorials, even, so I really haven't been able to get a 
good start. I program in Perl, JavaScript, several BASICs, Pascal, even 
(10 or 12 years ago) Smalltalk. But Squeak is impenetrable for the beginner.

Most helpful would be a steering guide -- "Start with this tutorial, 
then do this one, and then this..." -- with a brief abstract of the 
instructional objectives for each segment.
