Good tutorial here: http://www.dmu.com/squeak/

To import your graphics,

World menu / open
file list
Click "Name" button
Select image file in upper window. Thumbnail will display in lower frame.
Click "Import" button (not much happens)
Close file list

Extras / Graphical Imports
Select image
Click small menu button, select "hand me one"

Drop that image into the holder
