[Newbies] Etoy tutorials on Squeakland and documentation in general

[Milan Zimmermann]

Ianas,

If you have a .pr file, you can load it into Squeak by starting Squeak, 
left-clicking (depends on your OS) somewhere on the background, that should 
show a "World Menu". In the menu click on "load project from file". That 
should load and open the project.

As far as I can say, you cannot simply "open" the .pr file in a browser, it 
has to have a "surrounding" HTML  with an object tag. There are lots of links 
on Squekland.org.

I think you are asking about eToys documentation specifically - I do not know 
about that, but there is a book named 

"Squeak: Powerful Ideas in the Classroom"

It has eToys projects in it, you can get it on Amazon or directly from 
Squeakland.
