I figured as much regarding Magritte, I just mentioned it because
SqueakSource 2 depends on it and was unsure about whether my not
having it installed was causing problems in something I was copying
from SqueakSource 2.


I've attached and pasted in a fileout of a class that prints a Url to
the transcript and shows it in an inform:  I would like to know how/
understand how to make a component appear once the link is followed
rather than a blank page.

Thanks again
Paul
