[etoys-dev] Trouble with Etoys

[karl ramberg]

Hi
It sound like a setting is changed in your Etoys.

Right click on the background/desktop in Etoys, the halo for the
background/desktop appears.
Click on the menu handle for the background/desktop.
Select the 'playfield options'
See if 'auto-phrase-expansion' is checked, it should be.

The projects you can't load, are they available for download somewhere, so
I can check them for issues ?

Karl
