A little known behavior of the Windows VM is that if you start it as a
browser plugin it'll automatically limit your access to files. The only
files you can see and manipulate are those in and beyound the image
directory. Everything else you can't see, touch, or destroy. And for an even
less known fact: If you start the Squeak VM with the option "-browserWindow:
parentHWND" you can get Squeak into any Win32 Window you want (heh, heh).
This also turns the 'security' measures on. I'd recommend poking around a
bit in the plugin stuff - might be interesting just to look at and to play
around with it.
