[Newbies] swapMouseButton?

[Scott Wallace]

Kent,

Since you're using Squeak3.8, left-click on the desktop to get the  
"world" menu, and from that menu choose "help"; you'll find  
"preferences" as the third item in the resulting Help menu.

Or type "Alt-shift-P" while the desktop has keyboard focus.

HTH,

  -- Scott
